We would also be happy to hear from any player wishing to join the band.
We are keen to support additional players in all sections to support flexible rehearsal patterns 

We regularly have 20+ players at rehearsal in our own Bandroom, less than 5mins from J37, M1

​​​​​​​We would also be interested in supporting anyone else who wishes to play or return to playing;  we have played extra players to a section to allow for more flexibilty, non-contesting options, family life - band balances

Please contact us in strictest confidence.  

We are more than happy have / support extra players in sections, so why not contact us to see what we can also offer you?  

We understand that flexible and reasonable adjustments are required to support each individual player;  this could mean sharing on a position, playing extra in a section to increase flexibility (recently had 5 basses to do just that!)

We are a very friendly band and always welcome new players even if we have a full band, which is testament to our MD Geof Benson!

Of course we recognise that in this modern era, there are many commitments that we all have, so will support our players to have an enjoyable experience.

We rehearse in our own bandroom Mondays and Thursdays, and have excellent facilities, including our own Welfare club, in which a well earned drink is always welcomed after a rehearsal!

The band aims in 2025,  to re-establish the training band and support adult learners including those wishing to return to banding (without needing to make full committments - flexible rehearsal attendance, non-contesting positions available) to our organisation which was interrupted due to the COVID outbreak.

But our long term aim is to get the band back to where it belongs, a journey our MD and our members are committed to achieving, thus securing the long term future of our historic organisation.
