This one is that old, the women had legs! Wonder where all the blokes are.

Inside, obviously they'd gone for the beer first, tent up later routine!

Breakfast time.

Obviously too may cooks spoil the broth, so you cook it and we'll eat it.

These photographs have recently come to light, and have been loaned to the Band by Maurice Metcalfe, the Band Secretary. Unfortunately, it is not possible to acknowledge the photographer, given that they have been taken at different times, locations, and by different people. But, whoever they are, we would like to thank them.

This picture is of the then Principal Cornet player - Jason Moore
