A GSB Duck Race and a House Party, Brome - 26th September 2026

It's a busy Saturday as firstly the Gislingham Silver Band is playing at the annual Eye First Scouts' Duck Race down at the Pennings in Eye, featuring a couple of Fred's musical mates - Alice and George, playing Euphonium and Cornet/Flugel respectively. A few hours after that, there's a party round the house, which this year features a large vat of curry, around 50 home-made mini naan breads, and an entire basket of popadums.
