Band told to vacate Band room

Band told to vacate Band room

After 93 years the band has received notification to vacate the band room by 31st December 2025.  As well as the band having to go the bowlers on the adjacent green have left as their increase in rent meant they can no longer afford to stay.

The Landlord Blackshaw Holdings Ltd based at Bailiff Bridge aquired the lease to the site a number of years ago after T F Firth closed and the land sold off, gradually the land around where we are has be redeveloped with only the bowling green and the pavilion remaining.  Over the years the band  have spend over £30k on improvements including a new roof, doors, windows, toilets, heating system and decorations.

I have written an account in our current newsletter which you can read under the Newsletter section of our web-site.  We are now on the look out for a new home not only for our rehearsals but for the storage of our equipment including uniforms, instruments and over 2000 sets of music which have been collected over the 187 years of the bands existence.

I will keep you updated over the coming weeks of the progress.
