All band members were out in force during December playing carols in
many venues. The weather was very changeable and several carol
books had to be dried on radiators at the end of some sessions. We
went to Moors Valley, Hamworthy Social Club, Castle Point, the Free
Masons in Branksome, a works do in Chandlers Ford, All Saints
Church, Southborne, Tuckton Free Church, Hillside School, Stewarts
Garden Centre, Morrisons, Verwood, Andrews the Butchers, Woodlands
Methodist Church, The Town Carol service at the Verwood Hub, Haskins
in Ferndown, The Verwood Christmas Extravaganza, The Verwood Day
Centre, and Luscombe Valley Railway in Canford Cliffs.
During these jobs we collected money not only for band funds but
also for our chosen charity which is the Dorset and Somerset Air
Ambulance. A cheque will be presented to them in the near future.
