November 14, 1903

A MEETING was held in the Ridgeway School on Tuesday afternoon to consider a proposal to start a drum and fife band at Cookhill.

Mr Barber explained that he had called the meeting in consequence of an interview with Mrs Daniell, of Brackenhurst, who had expressed the willingness to provide the necessary instruments if sufficient number of youths would take the matter up and themselves pay for a teacher and the use of a room for practices.
