Lostock Hall Memorial Band is making a SOS appeal for the return of blazers and ties that have found temporary homes around the country in recent years in time for their 70th anniversary celebrations later this year.

Big help

A spokesperson told 4BR: "It would be a big help if players who have helped us out in the past, or former Lostock Hall players, could check their wardrobes for any blazers and ties which have been forgotten.

Just get in touch and we will sort things out — no questions asked!"
