Lincolnshire's summer finally arrived at Digby's Party in the Park on 4th August as the RAF station welcomed over 2000 party-goers to a fun-packed day of family entertainment and music stretching late into the night.

Station Commander, Group Captain Sean Corbett, said "this was a truly cracking day, and blessed by good weather. We met all our objectives of having a fun day for the local community and service personnel, and raising substantial funds for our supported charities with the help of our sponsors."

-- YOUTH BRASS BAND MOVING TO THIS AREA --

JOIN US AND CONTRIBUTE TO THE SUCCESS OF YOUR LOCAL BRASS BAND.

An existing youth Brass Band is relocating to the Metheringham & Dunston area, and we are looking for more players to join us. The instruments we have in a brass band are:

So whether you already play, or would like to learn, come along and join us. We will provide tuition, loan of an instrument and music; and the subs are only £12/qtr. We play at fetes and concerts, and players from the Band had great results at the Lincoln Music & Drama Festival earlier this year.

Come along to listen to the Band, meet the players and try the instruments
We also need percussionists, so come along and sign-up!
