Box NATS meeting on Tuesday 13 December 7.30pm will be in a changed venue at Box School. It features Michael Rumsey taking us on a tour of important North Wilts parish churches. To get us in the Christmas spirit there are free mince pies plus tea or coffee.
It sounds a winner all round.

Hi Folks - it's a long shot but I thought I would ask.....in an article from July 2015, alongside pictures of the "Gay Nineties Dance Club", part of the article mentions two dance bands, one being Billy Cannon's.

Billy is the Grandfather of my partner, Peter, and we will be celebrating the 80th birthday of one of Billy's sons, George, next weekend. My question is, does anyone have a picture of Billy Cannon's band? If you do and are willing to send me a copy, it would be gratefully received. I am sure we could work with the blog administrator to get it to me on an email if possible. Many thanks in advance,

Andrew Hall
