Icy conditions but the Band plays on….

April 11, 2018 by Susan Roberts Leave a Comment

  It was (literally) freezing on 17 March at Camborne Rugby ground – snow started to fall half way through the match against Ding Crusaders. But Camborne Youth Band played before and during the match – raising money for their August trip to the Menin Gate. There was a collection at half time….

It’s a great honour for them to be invited at the Menin Gate – and a well deserved accolade, as even this short clip shows… And what commitment to play in these conditions when clearly their fingers were so, so cold…..

The icing on the cake – Camborne won the rugby!
