Local band sheds the pounds
THE autumn and winter months are normally a time for bands to bulk up with new players and new sets. However, members of McDonald Memorial Pipe Band are planning to get in shape for the 2013 competition season by taking part in a sponsored weight loss.
Those up for the challenge have just three months before Christmas to get down to the target weight. Anyone who fails to lose weight will have to complete a forfeit. Between them, they aim to lose at least 100 pounds, and hope to raise £1,000 towards instruments and uniforms.
Anyone wishing to sponsor the band members can contact Vikki on 078 4950 8516 or by email to [email protected]. Donations may be also made online.
