Once again cheers to all volunteers, Balstock reps, musicians and especially my adorable, long suffering committee who work 8 to 9 months of the year with no pay at all!!! Give respect

In addition to this, we have also supplied Brandles School with a drum kit (courtesy of Deborah Wildish) and raised an additional £369 for Team Super Seraph earlier in the year.

I know a lot of you are apprehensive about if Balstock will take another year off. I will admit that the year off was much needed and gave us a taste of what it’s like to actually have a stress free summer holiday! So we feel the fairest thing we can do for the Town and (more importantly) our committee member’s sanity is to do Balstock Music Festival – 2 years on and 1 year off. So we’re back with a bang 2020, but come 2021 and 2024 we’ll be putting our trotters up and recharging for the next event. Sound fair?
