HAVING beaten 20 other section bands to come first in the North West Regional Brass Band championships, Flixton Brass Band are hoping to raise £3000 to travel to the national finals in September.
The first event towards the cost of going to Cheltenham, will be a Bavarian Bierkeller night at the John Alker Social Club, Flixton Road, Urmston on Saturday, June 3 at 7.30.
It will be similar to the Munich Oktober Fest with lots of singing and foot stomping with traditional German food on sale.
For those unable to attend, the band have set up a justgiving page at www.justgiving.com/crowdfunding/FlixtonBand
* Tickets, priced £5, can be purchased from Paul Thomason on 07725 077 168. For more information, see flixtonband.org.uk.
