title	The BSCC at Brockdish, and the SYWO at Holbrook - 10th April 2025
intro	Fred and the Suffolk Youth Wind Band (along with the Youth Orchestra and Suffolk Young Strings) finish up their four-day residential at the Royal Hospital School in Holbrook with a performance at the School Chapel, an impressive - if acoustically-challenging - building constructed in 1930. On the way back, we spot a fire which looks suspiciously close to the house, but which turns out to be a hedge fire across the field. It's tinder-dry leylandii so is roaring away fiercly, but luckily doesn't have a chance to spread before the fire brigade arrive. Before that, it's the second outing for the Brome Swan Cycle Club, with a trip to The King's Head at Brockdish, followed by a quick pint at the Oaksmere on the way back.
