Grand raise for Cobham

The Cobham Band raises in excess of £1000 for Charity

 

The Cobham Band recently presented their Christmas Concert in in their home village under the baton of David Ruel.

Christmas cheer

With plenty of Christmas cheer and fine music the evening ended with a standing ovation for the band.

The applause also reflected the news that after raising over £900 last year for the local CHASE Hospice Chrity the band raised over £1,000 this year for Help for Heroes and Newlife Foundation for Disabled Children.
