Easter Convention 2016

Band Open Evening 2016
Many years ago, the Band started a "tradition" of having a special evening towards the beginning of the year when the Band reservists could come along and sit in on a rehearsal - giving them a reminder of what it was like to be part of the Band. This tradition has since grown into an open evening when anyone can come along - share some music - then some food and fellowship with the Band.

Joy And Peace At Christchurch Priory
The Band's annual Christmas Concert at The Priory Church in Christchurch is always popular and well attended. This year was no exception and the big crowd thoroughly enjoyed the evening. Ramsay Caffull has once again provided a report of the event for use on this website.

Concert for 'Vision of Hope'
Since the Salvation Army commenced operations in Ukraine in 1994, Salvationists from Winton, Boscombe, Poole and other Corps have been involved in helping support the ongoing work there in numerous ways. Orphanages, TB Sanatoriums, elderly people’s homes and Salvation Army premises have been renovated, children’s holiday clubs have been organised in orphanages and a Roma Gypsy settlement, and much needed clothing and food has been supplied and distributed.
