Thank you Tina for arranging the visit of Wellington Brass Band.  It was a splendid evening. 

The Band was excellent, the young soloists were first-rate, the selection of music was superb and our own Michael Davey to play the organ - marvellous. 

Thanks also to the members of church who helped with the refreshments, seating arrangements, raffle and all the other unseen things. 

Thanks again Tina
