Following the recent announcement made on 4BR that Shirebrook Town Council will continue to support its popular 'Brass in the Park' and 'Open Brass Band Entertainment Contest' they have also confirmed that that they will also assist with the running of the Bolsover Brass Summer School organised and managed by Carole Hirst.
Further develop
Following Carole's early retirement from Bolsover District Council, she was keen to ensure the Bolsover Brass Summer School continued to develop and thrive, and with this in mind she approached Shirebrook Town Council for support.
A spokesperson told 4BR: "Shirebrook Town Council are excited to be assisting with the promotion and administration of this long-standing event within the District — one that has worldwide scope and interest."
