Reg Vardy's international amnesty call

A safe home return is being offered for old Reg Vardy uniforms and band gear

Reg Vardy in action
 

Reg Vardy is the latest top flight band to issue an amnesty plea for uniforms.

Stock take

After a recent stock take it was evident that over the past few years quite a few famous red jackets had accidently found new homes.

The band is hoping that a quick delve into cupboards, behind settees and even in the boots of cars will reveal some long forgotten jackets, music and equipment that really needs to be back in their bandroom.

Full capacity

Band Manager Graeme Tindall told 4BR: "We want to restore the kit cupboard to its full capacity, and welcome the return of equipment which, for one reason or another, is unaccounted for.

Any previous band member or dep who is holding on to that elusive red jacket or snazzy Reg Vardy tie is welcome to return it to any member of the band at any time."

He added: "Also, any music or item of equipment which has been borrowed and not returned is encouraged to find its way home, no questions asked!"
