Rifles Band Concert - Colchester
Since antecedent Regiments of The Rifles have been regularly stationed in Colchester since 1742 it is entirely appropriate for this Concert to be held here, even though the territory is now firmly held by the Paras!
For anyone addicted to the sound of Band and Bugles this will be an unmissable occasion and for anyone else it would be an unforgettable experience, for a very important cause to raise £1million in 2010 for the long term care of The Rifles’ casualties and their families. As tickets at £12.50 will be limited to 350 it could be a good idea to make a reservation (or a donation!) early by writing to: Valentine West (Official Promoter – The Rifles Charities), Hall Cottage, Rectory Lane, Abberton, Colchester, CO5 7NJ (preferably with SAE!) or by calling him on 01206 735389 or by e-mailing vfwest@btopenworld.com
