CYCLE TO VICTORY - Saturday 30th August 2008
Brighton & Hove City Brass Band earlier this year qualified to represent London & Southern Counties at the National Brass Band finals in Harrogate in September. They have been busy preparing the music for the trip which is quickly looming, but have also been trying to raise the much needed funds to attend.
Jenny Ireland as well as being the solo horn player for the band and an active member of the band committee is preparing with a small team to complete a sponsored bike ride to raise funds to help the band with the costs of travel and accommodation.
On Saturday 30th August, a few members of the band lead by Jenny will be setting off from Angmering heading along the coastal path past Worthing, Lancing, Shoreham, Hove and along to Brighton Pier then up to Preston Park hoping to arrive at the Park around 3pm. The target they are aiming for is 26miles.
When they arrive at Preston Park the band will be there to greet them and will perform for a couple of hours in the park. Anyone can come along and listen to the band and offer their support for the up and coming contest and if anyone wishes to offer sponsorship for the trip, they can contact the band through this website.
