On Saturday 11th April between 1pm and 3pm, Holbeach Town Band will open its doors to the general public as they look to host their 1st Music Café. Anyone is welcome whether you’re 7 or 70, an accomplished player or brand new beginner, even if you fancy just popping along for a piece of cake and a brew. The Band have regular Open Days, but this will be the 1st Music Café that the band have run. Band Chairman, Yvonne Butter, comments “You meet so many great people in the brass band world and have a tremendous amount of fun along the way. Pop along on Saturday 11th April and see for yourself.” The Band members will be helped by their supporters who will be running the Café. The Music Café will start at 1pm at the W.I. Hall in Holbeach and you will have the chance to meet members of the Holbeach Town Band and the Holbeach Victoria Training Band and see them perform. Players will give demonstrations of their instruments throughout the afternoon and it wouldn’t be a music café without giving you the chance to grab a cuppa and a cake (or 2). We also provide our members with an instrument, so you may even end up taking one home with you!

UAH victorious in The Games

A team from University Academy Holbeach proved victorious in Boston College’s The Games.

The Games is an inter-school competition involving secondary schools from around the county competing against each other in a variety of practical sporting activities.

The top two boys and two girls from each school were determined at heats and these finalists then competed for individual titles as well as the Target Team Award, awarded to the overall winning school.

Triathlete Abi Schofield attended to give encouragement throughout the day and to speak to them about her career, before presenting the awards.

Making an amazing appearance this year, University Academy Holbeach stole the title from Boston High School.

The top six winners took home their trophies and medals as well as an abundance of prizes, including swim passes, England Rugby shirts, Boston United match tickets and Sports Direct vouchers.
