I thought it wise to add my views on Kiddlington, so this isn't taken out
of context.  As the only other local championship band, Kiddlington are
our de facto rivals as a band, ie it's good to beat them in contests.  I 
realise that it is possible to take this rivalry too far, and it's
important to remember the difference between a band and the bandsmen who
make up that band.  I've sat in with Kiddlington a couple of times now 
(whether I'd be welcome again I don't know :) and try and chat with
bandsmen I know when I have the chance.  I've met John a couple of times,
but I don't know Ken Membury.
