What a brilliant result! Once again Friary have trounced some supposedly higher ranking bands. You are all stars!! Particularly pleased to see percussion win Best Section as well. Does this mean Matt might get some new shed building stuff? I'm really looking forward to see how you get on at Stevenage. The very best of luck to you all Alan P.S I wasn't able to work out how to post this message on the website. I suppose that just confirms how thick I am!! P.P.S all is going well down here. Hard to believe we've been living in oz for two and a half years now. Guess what? I got an award from my band for 'most proficient player'. I'm afraid I have to regard it as a statement on the band's standard rather than my skill as a cornet player!! Love to all Alan # 19   Member: Alex Stevens No of Posts: 264 Time Of Post: 07/02/2008 10:48:51 Last Modified: Tony's hooked again - he's doing the areas with Chichester :) # 18   Member: Matt Tallamy No of Posts: 505 Time Of Post: 29/12/2007 10:09:09 Last Modified: I bumped into Tony Ford at Homebase near Chichester the other day an had a good chat with him and his better half. He was also at the Park Barn concert. He is doing well, still supporting his local football side every saturday, and went along for a blow with Chichester to help them out with their Xmas concert. He was even talking about possibly taking it back up again! If you read this Tony, keep in touch... # 17   Member: Matt Tallamy No of Posts: 505 Time Of Post: 13/11/2007 18:12:15 Last Modified: Martin West has just signed up, and he asks: 'i heard about the band through the internet whilst researching my grandfathers involvement with the brewery band.congratulations on youre recent successes. wonderd if there are any records dating back to his time with the band,my grandfathers name was percy savage. any information would be nice as i only have information on his time with petworth town band. yours respectfuly m.d. west' Anyone got any info? # 16   Member: Robin Walker No of Posts: 1 Time Of Post: 07/11/2007 16:01:57 Last Modified: 07/11/2007 16:02:30 Not sure if anyone remembers me, but I was in the band from '83 - '86, played on Repiano Cornet mostly. I don't remember anything about 4 allegedly missing basses from a Boosey and Hawkes warehouse, or the punchup with the landlords son at a pub on Hayling Island. I seem to remember - it had nothing to do with Bob Gates, David Prangle or Mark Nagle for those that remember them! # 15   Member: Matt Tallamy No of Posts: 505 Time Of Post: 15/06/2007 22:43:26 Last Modified: 15/06/2007 22:59:00 Alright Danny?

Everything OK Alan? # 10   Member: Matt Tallamy No of Posts: 505 Time Of Post: 23/11/2006 13:15:17 Last Modified: Just had a text from Fiona Creese. She says that she's just had a call from St Albans Band and may yet be convinced to play at next year's areas with them... Good to see her thinking about playing again. Fiona will be back in Guildford sometime in August. # 9   Member: Matt Tallamy No of Posts: 505 Time Of Post: 24/10/2006 19:15:48 Last Modified: 24/10/2006 19:16:35 Alrighty Matt! Good to hear from you, why don't you come down to the open rehearsal on the 30th? I've taken your phone number off the public area of the website so you don't get random people phoning you and have put it on the band members area instead. See ya soon, Matt # 8   Member: Matt Strawson No of Posts: 1 Time Of Post: 22/10/2006 17:38:43 Last Modified: 24/10/2006 19:00:04 Hello all! Sorry I havn't been in touch for so long. Still living in London - Acton - after graduating last June. Currently working in a book shop in Victoria. I just recently started practising my cornet semi-seriously for the forst time in about 4 years so if anyone knows of any bands in the West London area looking for a back row player then let me know! Is anyone going to the nationals at thr Albert Hall next Saturday (28th October)? I'll be there to cheer on my brother whose playing for Leyland so if you're about let me know and we'll meet up and have a drink. My number is ***** *** ***. I've still got Rich's number so I'll be calling you mid-week Rich. Anyway that's about it really nothing else too exciting to report. Do you still practise in the same place on Monadys and Wednesdays? I have got some time off in a couple of weeks so I might come along and see everyone then if we don't catch up at the Albert Hall. Take care everyone and hopefully see a few of you next Saturday. Matt. P S - I've still got two jackets and a mute that belong to the band. Thanks. # 7   Member: Matt Tallamy No of Posts: 505 Time Of Post: 16/09/2006 23:21:11 Last Modified: Its good to hear from former trombone player Fiona Creese. Keep us up-to-date with what you're doing Fiona... # 6   Member: Matt Tallamy No of Posts: 505 Time Of Post: 29/08/2006 22:42:41 Last Modified: It was good to see ex-members Sarah Fowler and Alan Ware at Ham House, Richmond over the weekend. Although I didn't get a chance to talk yo Sarah, apparently she is heading westward bound. Alan has popped over from Oz with his misses Clare for a few weeks. He has promised to do his best to make it to a rehearsal whilst he's over here - and by that I mean a trip to the pub. It would be good if you guys would sign up to the website to keep us up-to-date with what you're doing. Clare Tarron also helped us out. When are you re-joining Clare? Come to Pontins, ya know you want to! # 5   Member: Matt Tallamy No of Posts: 505 Time Of Post: 09/07/2006 13:53:54 Last Modified: Word on the street is that Alan Ware is coming over from Oz for a few weeks soon. # 4   Member: Matt Tallamy No of Posts: 505 Time Of Post: 19/06/2006 17:26:11 Last Modified: Good to see ex-members Chris Straker and Clare Tarron helping us out at the Electric Theatre concert last night (18/06/06). # 3   Member: Matt Tallamy No of Posts: 505 Time Of Post: 01/06/2006 10:20:26 Last Modified: Good to see David Ruel following his son in signing up - 2 more to go!

You just need to convince the rest of your mob to follow suit!
