| After 2-3 years rehearsing at the Poynton Centre, demand on the centre from other organisations |
| ment a move to another rehearsal room, which was to be in the old Fire Station behind the centre, |
| this was not a particular good move, crowded and cole in the winter. |
| Mr. Peter Toms (ex HM Royal Marine School of Music - Deal) had now taken the musical |
| directorship of the band and many more concerts were conducted including many outdoor venues |
| for schools, churches and hospital fetes. |
| With the problems of the rehearsal room John Kilshaw made an approach to the Royal British |
| Legion Club for possible use of the club facilities for rehearsal and storage of equipment and this |
| finally happened in October, 1986. |
| Sadly, shortly after the move to the RBL Club, Mr. Kilshaw died. We all recognised the great |
| effort and determination John contributed to create the band and get it on the road to |
| where it is today. |
