The bingo night held last Friday was a booming success - raising over £100. Nearly 50 bingo-ers crammed in to the band room to play under the guidance of Iori Williams (pictured right), although a particular soprano cornet player nearly got away with cheating his way to the the top prize.

Completing a succesful weekend was the masterclass with Mark Wilkinson. A full band enjoyed an hour's rehershal with the Foden's Principal Cornet player, who travelled 5 hours from Oxford to wag the baton.
