Every band needs somewhere for people to 'learn the trade' and for salvationists this is usually the YP Band. It is therefore very important to have the correct leaders in place to ensure that our young people are ready for the challenges that the band brings. We have had a long line of very good YP Band Leaders at Boscombe and we are sad that this weekend Malcolm Randell has after many years stepped down (he is too young to retire!) from that post.

Malcolm has been an inspiration for our youngsters and as a Band we would like to use this public forum to thank him for his hard work, his humour and his time over the past years.
