Band has performed a Charity Concert for the Children's Diabetic Insulin Pump Appeal

The Band performed a charity concert tonight in aid of Children's Diabetes at the Bishop Auckland Town Hall. The concert was a great success and enjoyed by an enthusiastic audience. In Attendance was Dr. Lamb, who is one of the leading doctors in Diabetes at the Bishop Auckland General Hospital where all the proceeds are going. Dr. Lamb also does a lot of fundraising for the cause. The Band to date has raised £1300 for the charity.

A Special Mention must go to Daphne Evans who plays percussion in the Band. She has done almost all of the organising and running about for the concert, and she isn't even on the committee.

The Band would also like to thank the following for their contributions:

• Mary & Jonathan Hayton for paying the cost of the hall
• Mary & Jonathan Hayton for donating the folowers that were presented to Mrs Lamb
• Alan Beaumont for Advertising and Tickets
• Teresa & Lynda (5 Rivers Brass Band), Brian (Ferryhill Town Band), Malcolm (Stanhope Silver Band), Dougie (Freelance), for giving up their time and fees to help us on the night.
