| Nice one Crystal Palace BB. My cornet teacher played for St. Hilda\'s in the 1920\'s and told me about the ban competition.
I lived on Westwood Hill in 1980 whilst at NCOS - wish I knew about you then I would have come to play Life Divine, any time!

| Great to see the band is strong enough to send two bands to the Area!
Hard luck to the B band,the result is unimportant at this stage, experience and hard work is everything!
I remember "bombing" in the fourth section with the "senior" band not so very long ago..and look at them now!

| Brave effort Ian W. and Crystal Palace "B" Band at Stevenage today & don't worry too much about the result (it's the Gradings table placings that count) - you will improve with experience if you knuckle down and don't give up. A first class effort solo horn in particular - not easy! | |

| Hello again! For those that remember me, some good news! I shall be getting married to my long term partner Samantha on Saturday 21st April at Chester Registry Office. We'll be having a celebratory do here on the Isle of Arran upon our return, so it'd be lovely if any of you can make it up here. | |

| Sadly, one of our members, Bert Bonner, died on Saturday 27th January 2007.
Bert was a main band player during the 1960's period and he can be seen as a young man in the 60's picture from our home page.
Bert also played flugel with the B Band in more recent years. He was a real gentleman.
The funeral is due to take place on Saturday 3rd Feb, at Christs Chapel, Dulwich, near the picture gallery at 10.30 am.

| I am the son of Ron Davis (Horn, Trombone, etc....) who played in the band during the 70s (I think) Knew Rodger, but was only 7 or 8 then. He [Ron] use to come with Roy Diamond and John Rodgers (deputy conductor) and I would love to see any old photos, or know if you remember them, if any one has them. Ron and Roy are gone now but John still lives in near you. | |

| A hearty 'McWotcha' from the beautiful Isle of Arran. Glad to see the band continuing to go from strength to strength. I see from some of the photos that the multi-anagrammed Graeme Cornish is back with you! Is there no justice? :) (I'm joking!)
Anyway, keep up the good work. I'm off to worry some more sheep.... Hello to all those that remember me.... and even those that don't. | |

| Hi folks
I think the developer of our guest book is doing a security upgrade to reduce spam. On my PC, Explorer drops the broadband connection and keeps asking me to dial up!
If you are also having problems, send me the message via email and I'll put it up. | |

| We thoroughly enjoyed the memorial concert for Roger but as soon as the band struck up the emotions kicked in and the loss of Roger became very raw again. He was a great friend to Kay and I, first as a neighbour and then as a firm family friend. Our boys fondly remember Roger as the "Pennies Man" because he would always play "spin ups" with them and lose every coin he had on him. We have great memories of Roger and will always miss him. | |
