Look out for events coming up supporting this worthwhile charity.
The sun came out and so did the people of Reydon. The club’s first Brass on the Grass concert featuring the Wrentham Brass Band, was hailed as a success. People lazed in the July sunshine as the band played old favourites such as the Lincolnshire Poacher and more up to date pieces such as the theme from Skyfall.
Hot dogs and burgers were sold and a collection was taken in aid of the Waveney Sailability charity. The amount raised was £394. A big thank you the Wrentham Brass Band, David Smith of the Randolph Hotel and of course the people of Reydon. We hope to make this an annual event so see you next year.
