Making music fun in east anglia

It is with great sadness that we mark the passing of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II.
Martlesham Brass has always held her in great esteem and we will miss her dedication and constant care for us.
We have followed her example of making our organisation open and welcoming to all.

We look to the future when we can celebrate her life and that of our new sovereign, King Charles III.

BAND DOOR REP:

We are looking for people to be on the door at Band on a Friday evening as at the moment there are only three of us on the rota. If just one more person joined us it would mean each of us covering just one duty a month. The job is not onerous and only requires you to sit in the foyer of St Michaels from just after 6.30pm until Inters/Prelims/Beginners have finished. We feel it is good to have an adult present on the door. You may be asked to sell tickets for events and write any instructions or information on the white board. If you feel able to help please see Mary Aldous, Liz Benyon or Jean Freeman.
