Young people of the band had their Christmas Party on the last practice night of 2023 Monday 18th December, they had great fun playing games, eating Pizzas and Sweets, they had so much fun that we forgot to take photos!!!! It was great for all to mix and make new friends.
Whilst the Christmas Party was going on, some of the adults joined a wreath making class, we were very excited to welcome Jean Pedgrift to join us to instruct us on making a Christmas Wreath each, below are the final outcomes, exciting to see all the different designs using the same materials:
