Irvine and Dreghorn's fundraising continues
THE hard work continues for members of Irvine and Dreghorn Band (IDB) as they continue fundraising ahead of a trip to the National Brass Band Championships of Great Britain.
A karaoke competition is taking place at the Cariick, Irvine, on Saturday, September 5. Beginning at 7.30pm, prizes include a block of music lessons courtesy of The Music Room, beauty treatments courtesy of Bella Mani, a studio recording of two tracks, a photo shoot for the CD courtesy of Splash Productions and a chauffer-driven car to the studio recording. Entrants to the competition will pay £5 and these fees will all go to the fundraising effort.
The band has already been busy taking part in a wide range of activities including entering the Irvine Dragon Boat Challenge on Saturday, August 15. in a bid to fundraise towards its bid to represent Scotland at the National Brass Band Championships. Donations can still be made by texting IDBB15 £X to 70070.
On Thursday, June 25, Colin Stevely, Derek Leitch, Steven Purss and Callum Dukes golfed from 4.30am until 10.30pm at Irvine Golf Club Bogside in Irvine, managing to complete 75 holes.
Colin Stevely, IDB golf team captain, said: "It was a long day but absolutely great fun.
"We had lots of support throughout the day, and some of our caddies had too much fun with the golf buggies. We were all very sore the next day but managed to compete in a golf competition in Perth two days later too. I don't know how we managed it!
"Thanks to all those who sponsored and supported us."
