Marple bid for funds

The Marple bid needs some help to get its hands on some uniform funding.

Aviva Community Fund
  The Marple Band has made its bid for new uniforms through the Aviva Fund

The Marple Band is hoping that the brass band community will get behind them in their bid to fund new uniforms through the Aviva Community Fund.

Band spokesperson Ruth Groves told 4BR: "We put together a bid which was accepted and now we have to get as many people to vote as possible so that we can be put forward for consideration by Aviva's judges.

Help the band

To help the band you have to register, but then you get 10 votes.
