The Band of West Mercia Constabulary combined with Flowers Band at Kidderminster Town Hall on June 2 for a concert organised by Stourport Rotary Club. The event raised £1,650 which will go towards the cost of a new bandstand to be built on the meadow at Stourport. The total project will cost £20,000, the fund now stands at £19,000.

Howard Gibbs directed the West Mercia band at the concert, and Philp Harper the Flowers band.

It is hoped the bandstand will be built early next year.
