Fundraising:
Thanks to the band's fundraisers Les and Brenda for all their hard
work raising money for the band throughout the year. They arrange
monthly bingo sessions, weekly bring and buy stalls and regular
table-top sales. At their Christmas bingo
in December 2008, where the band provided incidental festive music,
they presented the band with a cheque for £3,000 representing
the proceeds of their fundraising during the year.
