Donations to St Christopher's
With £1,477 collected from the Christmas concert, £676 from the Roger Clements Memorial Concert and a further £500 donated by CPB members following Roger C's funeral, the band has raised £2,623 for St Christopher's Hospice in 2005.
A fantastic achievement! This makes a grand total of £7,599 raised for this wonderful charity since the Centenary concert in 2001. Thanks to the Band for all their hard work.
And we played at the Remembrance Tree Service on 4th December. Click for pictures.
Christmas Concert - Saturday 3rd December
Another successful concert was had by all! Many thanks to the Gwalia Male Voice Choir conducted by Janet Haney, our band members conducted by Mike Gray, soloists Emma Gray (Soprano) and James Gordon (Principal Cornet), all the many helpers who made the evening go so smoothly and, of course, those of you in the audience who supported us on the night. We look forward to seeing you again next year.

Summer Programme
The summer concert season is now finally over following some very busy weekends in June and July.
Our concerts have included an 'Open Garden' day in Bickley, a nostalgic 'Home Front Recall' concert at Beckenham and a concert at the 'Norton Flower Festival in the beautiful Kent countryside. Many thanks to Paul Newman, a past secretary of the band, for sponsoring this concert. We also played at Chris and Glenda's wedding on the 2nd July. Chris Atkins has been a member of the band, on and off, for many years past. We wish Chris and Glenda every happiness for the future. Pictures
