In March 2024, Craghead Colliery Band became the North Of England Brass Band 4th Section Champions, along with obtaining the Best Percussion Section (which I happen to lead) - this title comes with an invitation to the National Finals in September 2024 at the Cheltenham Racecourse.
This invitation does not come cheap as we need to book accommodation, transport and rehearsal facilities in Cheltenham for the whole band.
To raise funds, I am taking part in a 125ft zip-wire across the River Tyne from Newcastle to Baltic Square (Gateshead) at 9am on the 24th August...then heading off to band rehearsals!
I've opted to do this sponsored/crowdfunded so all the funds go to the band to help us on our way - so if you can spare anything, it would be greatly appreciated. And remember, sharing is caring, so even if you can't give anything monetary, give my page a share as someone you know might :)
Thanks
Alan
