Evans not quite incommunicado!

Richard Evans may be a bit harder to contact at the moment — but its only a temporary blip in communications.

Richard
 

Those brass band people wondering why they haven't been able to contact the great Richard Evans may be relieved to know that he hasn't chosen to hang up his baton, but has just been having problems with the internet!

Landline problems

Richard has been experiencing problems with his telephone communications for some time and the result has been that BT will be overhauling his landline — leaving him almost, but not quite, out of reach.

he is enjoying putting the final touches to the preparations for Barton Town's assault on the First Section title at Harrogate on the weekend, so he is pretty busy as usual4BR
