The last edition of the Regimental
Journal saw the Band entering into
the New Year. and once again it was a
very busy time
After a well earned Christmas leave
the Band returned ready for work. all
with good intentions of keeping their
New Year resolutions. Sgt Martin was
once again trying to give up smoking,
and the Band Sergeant Major was
trying to give up scrounging theml
Our first task of 1986 was a pleasant
one. The BSM had arranged a visit to
the local Brewery, so we could see for
ourselves just how the ‘Wobhly Juice'
was made. Unfortunately the day
chosen for the trip was also the day the
Brewery was closed for repair, Cpl
Herbert was heard to mutter that the
Band Sergeant Major couldn’t organise
a drink in a Brewery. or words to that
effect. Luckily the tasting room was
still functioning, so in the end a good
time was had by all,
Our first musical job was for the
manager of the local coach hire firm,
where the Band shared a spot with a
snake act, [t was the first occasion we
really appreciated Cavalry trousers,
