Anvil Concert
I think you will all agree the performances at the Anvil Concert were superb this year.
We received this tweet of congratulations from the Mayor who attended. ( Open Image to View)
We have once again recorded this concert and will be producing a £10 CD set, which is available to purchase by pre-order from your conductor. Programmes sales were down this year as we sold only 208. Both these products are produced as mementos and priced to cover costs.
We had the largest number of volunteers helping us out this year and are very grateful for their support. It really does make the process easier with more people. This was the first time we have really had sufficient helpers.
100 Club Winners ( open image to view )
