25 Years. Caravan & Motorhome Concert Band.
25th Anniversary.
2018 marks 25 years since the first meeting of a group of musicians at a National Rally. The rally was held at Hanbury Hall. However there does not appear to be a record of how many musicians attended the rally, and what instruments they played. I have heard some anecdotes that there were a number of stringed instruments, including a harp, as well as the usual brass and woodwind instruments.
In 1995 a group of musicians met for the first time outside the National at Guildsborough. I understand that this group became known as the Music Makers. I have the log book which covers the first few rallies between 1995 and 1999.
From 2000 onwards the records, in the form of photographs, become more detailed and I am adding to the archives as we go along. The records for the 1990’s are very sparse, particularly photographs of the band at the National’s.
I would be grateful for any information regarding the Band during the 1990’s so that I can fill in the gaps and try and present a potted history ready for our silver anniversary. If you have any photographs I could scan into a computer I would be grateful for them, and guarantee their safe return. If you could email me in the first instance at camcconcertband@gmail.com with any stories, or anecdotes, I would be most grateful.
