Meeting in Whitehead over marching band
The local branch is hoping to form a pipe and drum band and a military or wind band comprising instruments such as trombones and clarinets.
Bandmaster, Richard Hambleton explained: “The reason for forming the marching band under the badge of the Royal British Legion is because of the non-sectarian nature of the Legion; membership is open to all from the age of 14 with no leaving age.”
