We played at the Springfields
Retail Outlet, Spalding on Sunday afternoon 10th June. It was
a lovely afternoon with a very receptive audience. We were pleased
to play Happy Birthday to 1 year old Alfie at the request of his
grandfather. We will be returning in July. We had a reasonable sized
band for the occasion and, although there were a couple of slips
the band played well. Solo items were ably played by Steven Butter
(cornet) and Dennis Skinner (flugel horn).

17 June - Holbeach Vintage Rally
|
On a very wet weekend, we played at the Holbeach Vintage Rally.
We had a small band but it went well. It had rained heavily in the
days leading up to the event, so the ground was very wet and vehicles
had some problems.
The vintage rally was founded in 1995 and features parades of vintage
motorcycles, classic cars, vintage and modern tracors and steam
engines.

7 July - RBL Concert at Bourne Abbey
Four of our band went to Bourne to help the Royal
British Legion Band (Lincolnshire) with their concert. They were also
joined by players from the Kings Lynn band.
8 July - Normandy Veterens Rally
This was a Service of Thanksgiving for the Normandy
Veterans at the Anglia Motel,
Holbeach where there was a vintage tractor and lorry rally and craft fair.
Another early lunch as the Service started at 1.00pm, although there was
a delay while they found the Minister and a Standard Bearer. We played
the hymns Eventide and Jerusalem and sounded Last Post. We played on the
back of a covered trailer - welcome shade from the sun. After the Service
we played for half an hour then had a break. We had just started our second
set when the organisers announced there would be a parade of vintage tractors
and lorries which would take up the rest of the afternoon - so we packed
up and had an early return home.
15 July - Springfields Retail Outlet
Another pleasant Sunday afternoon at the Springfields
Retail Outlet, Spalding. It started to drizzle as soon as we started
playing, so we reformed under a cover. The weather soon improved and we
finished before the dark clouds returned. Most of the time we had a passing
crowd, but at one point we had a large and enthusiastic audience assemble,
including many young children, so we played suitable music for the children.
19 August - RBL Peace Gardens, Spalding
Two of our band went to play with the Royal British Legion Band (Lincolnshire)
at a service in the Peace Garden at Ayscoughfee
Gardens, Spalding to commemmorate a plaque for the Royal Anglian Regiment
