Wealth of experience

A spokesman told 4BR: "These players bring with them a wealth of experience and complete the team for the Area contest.

We are now focused on what will be a big challenge to maintain our Championship Status but our MD Alan Hobbins has already raised the bar at the first few rehearsals and the band is responding well."
