Historical Minutes
In 2025, our centenary year, the band was gifted two minute books dating from our earliest days. These books were kept as a record of meetings held by the committee, and we have digitised their notes as accurately as possible here for you to enjoy. Many thanks to the daughter of John and Winnie Brannan for the kind donation.
