What a lovely afternoon for our first event under the new canopy roof. Superb music from Michael Bochmann (violin) with his team and we all gave a standing ovation to the children’s choirs from Coalway and St. Briavels.
Next Saturday 27th is our Rising Stars event from 2pm to 5pm. Hope to see you there !

Now that Scarr Bandstand has achieved its aim in erecting a super new roof, we have to look to the future. Several of our committee are advancing in years so we are looking for new members. Averil has been compèring the events since 2017 and now needs to stand back. If you think you might enjoy introducing some of the events please get in touch as you can shadow Averil for the next season before taking over. It’s great fun !
We also need a Safety Officer to check the grounds before each event to see if all is safe for our bands and entertainers.
We also need a new First Aid Officer, free training will be given for this.
