Ratae Scottish Pipes and Drums and Dancers Beat Retreat in Oakham to Raise Money for ABF the Soldiers Charity.
Ratae Scottish Pipes and Drums and Dancers held a Beating Retreat in Market Place, Oakham, Rutland yesterday to raise money for ABF the Soldiers Charity. The event, which took place on Saturday, September 10, 2023, began with a parade of the pipers and dancers performed traditional Scottish music and dance. The Beating Retreat is a centuries-old military tradition that marks the end of the day. It is typically performed by a pipe band and consists of a series of marches and tunes. The event in Oakham was a special occasion as it was the first time that Ratae Scottish Pipes and Drums and Dancers had performed a Beating Retreat in the town. The event was well-attended and raised a significant amount of money for ABF the Soldiers Charity. ABF is a military charity that provides support to serving and ex-serving members of the British Armed Forces and their families. The money raised will help ABF to continue its vital work.
