A MARCHING band from Malvern is hoping to drum up some cash for new uniforms and equipment when it holds its annual competition and fete.

The West Mercia Championships, which are being hosted by the Malvern Lynx Marching Band, will take place on Sunday, May 26, from 10am at the Morgans football field, behind the RSE Social Club, in Spring Lane. There will also be fair rides, stalls and side shows, car boot sales and refreshments.
