50 Years Service
Its not every day that you get to recognise 100 years of loyal banding, but that is exactly what happened at Boscombe this morning when Maurice Smith and John Meredith were presented with books to mark the fact that they have each now completed 50 years of service in Boscombe Band.
Howard also recognised many other long serving bandsmen - including some with more than 50 years (our longest serving bandsman has over 70 years service behind him) - however, the fact that all of Maurice and John's service has been at Boscombe is particularly noteworthy. Here's to the next 50!

Wedding Bells
The band were pleased to provide the music today at the wedding of Ben Thompson and his new wife Alison. As is the custom the bride and groom had picked the music, although the late arrival of Alison did mean that we played a few items of our own choosing as well! Ben was supported by another bandsman, Sam Adams, as his best man. We wish Ben and Ali all the best in their future as husband and wife. |

Reservist's Night 2011
Everyone enjoyed the music, the fellowship and, of course, the buffet afterwards and many thanks must go to all who organised such a fine evening.
