   Thanks to all band members who attended the fantastic joint performance with the Ashby Concert Band on Sunday at Newark Castle.

   The backdrop was stunning and the performances were of an excellent standard, despite the heat. 

   The audience were very appreciative and we have had lots of very positive feedback-a great build up to the concert in October.

   Thanks to Janet Mortensen for the photo!
