The need of a Brass Band in Sale has been long felt. Deploring the absence of a band will not create a new one. Talk is cheap-cheaper than music! What is wanted is practical interest demonstrated in the launching of a new band, which is on the tapis. and in furtherance of which the Mayor has convened a public meeting at the Council Chambers this evening.
It is highly desirable that the gathering will be well attended, so that a strong committee may be elected for the first year - a "working" committee that will devote time and energy to the establishment of a band on a sound basis. It is proposed that the committee of management consist of 12 members - three elected by the playing members of the band, and nine elected at to-night's meeting. Various suggestions have been put forward to provide the "sinews of want" including the running of picture shows by the band, as is done in some other towns.
In view of the approaching A.N.A. conference at Sale, the Motor Cycle Carnival and other important impending events, it is hoped that no time will be lost in the launching of the new band. If those having the interest of the town at heart will at tend to-night's -meting and-get the band going, the general public will not be lacking in financial support.
