Band in the paper - again! The Band has made yet another appearance in the local press, this time in the Bangor & Anglesey Mail of 17th Feb as part of a series about local 'clubs'.  Here's a copy of the article:
Musical Donation to Hope House Last Friday, 5th Feb, the Band used the occasion of its annual Solo Competition to hand over a cheque for £230 to Hope House Children’s Hospices.  The Band, itself a Registered Charity, had raised the money as part of its own fundraising efforts in the lead-up to Christmas and the cheque represented the amount raised during one particular session outside the Tesco store in Bangor.  Band Chairman, Brian Mottershead, said, “The month leading up to Christmas is the busiest time of the year for the Band and also the period when it raises the majority of the funds to enable it to keep going during the other 11 months; however, we are absolutely delighted to be able to make a donation in support of the tremendous work carried out by the Hope House hospices in Conwy and Oswestry.  The Band looks forward to maintaining its links with Hope House in the future.”  Arthur Newnes, accepting the cheque on behalf of Hope House, thanked the Band for its donation and reminded everyone that it costs £4M a year to provide the services for terminally-ill children that are so important to them and their families.
Band in the paper! After their winning performance at the North Wales Rally, the band were featured in the local paper.
