Hinckley District Past & Present have a visit from Hinckley Marching band

Marching Band at the Greyhound Pub

A surprize awaited us at our monthly face-to-face get together at the GreyHound this week.

St Mary’s Hinckley & Atherstone CLCGB Marching Brass gave us a half hour session (sitting not marching). This was to raise money towards a trip in 2016 to WW1 battlefields & grave sites of their ancestral beginings.
