Bandmaster Report Details Funding and Uniform Plans
The annual report notes efforts to raise funds to meet band liabilities, repay a £144 debt to Menora Paling Co, and purchase instruments. It praises the Ladies Committee and outlines uniforms funded by a bazaar, with some shortfall carried forward. The band plans to equip members with new uniforms, though costs remain and remaining debt stands at £4137 3s. 0d. The Bandmaster also reports growth from 24 to 26 members and notes instrument issues and tuning difficulties unresolved after a Cairns public effort.
