Dear Ian 
I don't know if you are aware that the caravan club now has a band which
contains many brass players.
I'm sure some of them would love to come to Derbyshire for a weekend if you
could suggest a suitable site for their caravans.

If you want more details email me on
LAFSF@xxxxxxx

Lesley Flockton
