A poorly attended meeting of the subscribers to the proposed Sale Brass Band was held in the Old Mechanics Institute (opp. the present one) last night, Mr. W. T. Thornley presiding:
The Hon Sec. (Mr. A. Allan) announced that the contributions received to date amounted to £103/2s/9d. but as it would take about £200/0/0 to establish the band properly and free of debt, he thought some special effort should be made to raise the balance.
Several schemes were put forward and discussed, and it was ultimately decided to hold a bazaar for that object early in April, and that a meeting of the ladies of the town be called for the purpose of enlisting their valuable aid.
It was also resolved that the Sale Brass Band be formed at once, and at the next meeting of subscribers a committee of management will be appointed to deal with the details of its establishment on a proper footing.
