National Bandstand Marathon Oakham Town Council and Rutland Concert Band


Oakham Town Council Sponsored the Rutland Concert Band.

The Band played at the newly renovated bandstand in Cutts Close Oakham as part of the National Bandstand Marathon.


Cllr Sharon Spencer and Oakham Town Mayor explained to the brave few, who had braved the weather the reason for the National Bandstand Marathon and its link to the 2012 Games. As the afternoon progressed everyone was pleased to see more people turn up to enjoy the performance given by the Rutland Concert Band.

She then officially opened the newly renovated bandstand.


Then is was the turn of Cllr Lorna Gray
 She introduced the Rutland Concert Band
She organised this event with the help of 
Cllr Charles Haworth who made a request not to 
be photographed. Pity as he was not looking fat like he 
did in my last photograph at the opening of 
Royce Recreation Ground
 No photo if it helps keep the peace.
