On Thursday 20th December it was good to see Helen & Neil Metcalfe (ex members) on their first visit back in England since emigrating in 2005 to Perth, Australia. Their contribution to our practise - playing 3rd cornet - added a new dimension to the term "Vibrato".

We were undecided whether it was lack of practise, nerves or shivering having left OZ in temperatures of 30+ degrees.

We'll give them the benefit of the doubt ;)
