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.

Uniform

As the days grow longer, so do the band members! We will be pulling out the sweat shirts and winter clothing soon for real, so please have a look through your uniform and be sure that what you have is in good order and fits properly. If not, then see Simon or add an entry to the uniform book on Friday night.

Bill Bell

As mentioned last month, our President Bill Bell is still in hospital following his recent fall. Several members of the band have been to see him and he passes us all his good wishes.
I am sure that you will join me in wishing Bill a speedy and successful recovery.
