Christmas information
Playing Christmas Carols is a very worthwhile way to spend an hour or two over the Christmas period as it raises valuable funds for local charities. We shall also need parents or adult supporters to be collectors when we play at supermarkets etc.
If you are caroling please wear something warm, dark trousers and dark shoes.
This year's charities that the band are raising money for are: East Suffolk Association for the Blind (ESAB); The Sunrise Appeal (Ipswich Hospital fund for sick children and babies); Kim Youâ��ll never walk alone â�" Kesgrave High School Pupil.
If events are cancelled due to bad weather or any other reason, information will be on the website www.martleshambrass.co.uk
