On Sunday (18th) we (Emley) were playing a concert in Cross Flatts Park, Beeston. During the second half of our (obviously excellent) performance we had stones (golf ball and slightly smaller size) thrown at us by a group of Children (aged 8 - 14?) a gang of about 12. Possibly they were aiming for bells of the basses or Drum kit, one of our Bbb basses was hit leaving a large dint.
One of the organisers had "a word" but they still threw a couple more! I rang the police (999) an officer turned up and one of the said youth's adnitted to throwing the stone!! (idiot) Was frog marched to police car (with aplause from crowd and band). Emley brass band are now prosicuting said youth. The police said there had been other incidents but no-one wanted to press charges!!!
So be warned, but don't be afraid to ring 999, the local police are very (VERY) keen to stop these idiots spoiling a local sunday afternoon on a nice freindly (on the whole) park.
