THE Malvern Chase Brass Band would like to thank all those who gave so generously during its Christmas carolling events.

We played at several different venues in and around Worcester and Malvern during December.

Our two nominated charities for Christmas 2005 were the Tracy Sollis Leukaemia Trust and St John Ambulance. The band will be presenting Mrs Sollis with a cheque for £500 and St John Ambulance will receive £100.

Thank you again for your support and generosity. For further information about the Tracy Sollis Trust, visit www.tracysollistrust.co.uk
