Looking forward to this one , which I'll be attending for the first time as an Aveley and Newham groupie ( the good woman is depping with them).

Hoping that time will allow for the sampling of a drop or three of these:http://www.yeovilales.com/Our Beers.html , ideally whilst the rugby is on !!

Massive support for both Flowers and Woodfalls but I think the elephant in the room is the value to be had with a flutter on Camborne or Bournemouth

Good Morning Yeovil (and should be a cracker) Furious action going on in the offices and on the exchanges over the past few days lead us to these final prices...

Made up for St Austell on a great result. 4th place is, I know they won't mind me saying, far above what most people expected from them and I know they're delighted with it... it'll be a fun few hours on the coach as they travel back down to Cornwall! There's a certain magic that Mr Evans brings when he conducts an 'underdog' band lately, isn't there?

Anybody know what Flowers played???

 

[Chris Hicks]

We used our same program from butlins, so opened with blackbird special followed by cornet solo fear not, Romani fire dance, seal lullaby and finished with A Manchester tale.

I have a copy of the remarks of anyone is interested in me posting them

 

[SuperHorn]

Are they any different to the one sent around on the band e-mail.

 

[Chris Hicks]

Minus the remarks about sop and 2nd cornet they are as written (minus the spelling mistakes of my apparently illiterate father! Ha)

 

[critic]

Another good result from this impressive band. favourites for grand shield and another national finals. Well done

 

[cockaigne]

Well done to all at Flowers - now to get the Regional title back...

 

[MichaelA]

What other programmes were played?

 

[SuperHorn]

Minus the remarks about sop and 2nd cornet they are as written (minus the spelling mistakes of my apparently illiterate father! Ha)

I thought it was a joke. Excellent report then.
