New Jackets

Tue, 03/17/2009 - 21:32 — Lou

 

The band has recently taken delivery of new jackets for all playing members.  The purchase of these was a major expense for the Band and was funded  through parade and fundraising income and a Grant from the Tasmanian Community Fund (TCF). The contribution of the TCF represented approximately two thirds of the total cost, for which the band is very grateful.
This Grant follows a successful application to the TCF previously which assisted the band to purchase new kilts for all playig members.
