Remembrance Sunday

Sunday November 10th

A large contingent from Verwood Concert Brass marched through the town to the War Memorial playing the Royal British Legion March.  The whole troupe was made up of hundreds of people and there were many more waiting to take part in the short service.  On a very beautiful sunny Sunday, it was a privilege to lead the parade.

Torrential Rain did not Dampen Spirits!



Saturday November 9th 


The Training Band Coffee Morning was one of the best ever and despite the cloudburst outside, the audience flocked in to pack the Memorial Hall in Verwood and there they stayed. Who could blame them on a miserable November day when there was so much good music to hear.
 
The tombola sold out, the cake stall sold out  and Sally and her kitchen team didn't stop.  The music didn't stop either as soloists performed during the break. All in all very good value for just £1 which included a cup of coffee AND a biscuit.

Thanks Pam for calm and efficient organisation as always.
