Hi All,

	I would like to , on behalf of the G.U.S band, thank everybody that
has e-mailed me privately with both sponsorship and ideas for fund raising
to keep the band going. Following these messages there are a couple of ideas
that we would like to follow up:-

*	It was suggested to me in one e-mail that some of the 'star'
soloists in the brass band movement may be willing to donate their services
free of charge to the G.U.S band for a 'one-off' concert. It was suggested
that this could be either as soloists or as part of an 'all-star'  brass
band to perform alongside G.U.S in a celebrity concert. I know that many of
the 'celebrities' subscribe to this list having seen their names on
postings. Whilst realising that they make a profession out of their playing,
if anyone feels that they could donate their services for one night all of
us at G.U.S would be more than grateful.

*	Various soloists from the G.U.S band have agreed to offer their
services as guest soloists to other bands for a minimal cost. This cost
would be a donation to the G.U.S band of an amount at the hosting band's
discretion.

If anybody out there on the list feels that they would like to take us up on
either of the above please feel free to e-mail me privately either at my
work (Rob.Norman@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx) or at home
(Robin@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx <mailto:Robin@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> )
and I will be only too happy to give you more information. Also, if anybody
else has any ideas for fund-raising please feel free also to let me know.

On behalf of the G.U.S band I would like to thank you all for your
assistance. As another list member wrote, it would be a shame to see another
top class band fold due to lack of sponsorship. Because of the band's
commitment and financial assistance this is not going to happen and the name
of 'GUS' is still going strong which, hopefully, will be shown at the
Masters in May. 

With Thanks,



Robin Norman
(Eb Bass - G.U.S)


P.S:- If anybody in the Eastern region is interested the band is actually to
be shown on "Look East" regarding the 24-hour sponsored play tomorrow
evening (Thursday 1/4) at 6.30pm.
