Cumbria Brass Network goes on-line

If you want to play an active part in the rejuvenation of the brass band scene in Cumbria then why not take part in its next network meeting?

Cumbria
  The network is looking to develop further initiatives

The Cumbria Brass Network will be hosting their next on-line meeting on Saturday 24th May between 6.00pm and 7.00pm.

It follows the success of the recent 'Brass at the Castle' event at Brougham Hall, and it is hoped that people will share their feedback about the event as well as talk about the Cumbria Youth Brass Band and what initiatives, such as recruitment and strategy building they would like to see developed in the future.
