The training band played for the first of many hospitality events being held at Heathcotes at Chester Racecourse. The band played festive carols as 950 revellers arrived at the racecourse for a merry evening!

Note to TB members. A great turnout Saturday - well done. Rob MacD said the band sounded fantastic :)

The next racecourse outing we will be located outside the entrance so please ensure you are wrapped up well....

If you checkout the photo gallery you'll see phil our MD doing the final edit with Siwan in deepest Wales. The CD won't be out before Xmas, but should hit the streets in early January. If you'd like us to let you know when it's out just email [email protected] with your name and email address.

There's still time to get your name on the CD if you want to act as a sponsor :)

TB last rehearsal will be on Dec 3rd due to the large number of outings. It is important that ALL players try to make outings - this is to raise money for our trip. If you can't make it please let Tony know now (or Paul Jones for mainband). Check the outings lists. Do your bit :)

TB will be back on Jan 7th 08.

Tony also needs all the forms returning and the deposit for the trip no later than the Dec 3rd TB rehearsal.
