Nicci Maher, (Committee Member) sums up the year on a Facebook Post
The band have had a great 2015, we won quite a few prizes at the Autumn concert, played the whit Friday matches, played at the pavilion gardens in Brighton, welcomed some new members, said farewell to some old friends and rounded off the year with a Gala concert to rival all those which have gone before. From all of us to all of you Happy New year. We hope you have enjoyed our playing this year and we can't wait to see you all again in 2016!
