BTM returns home

The BTM is heading back home after a period of renovation.

BTM
 

The BTM Band will be returning back to its bandroom in the next few weeks following a period of renovation to the building that has seen the band rehearsing in temporary accommodation since Autumn of last year.

Grant help

The band was awarded a significant grant from the Welsh Assembly Government’s Community Facilities and Activities Programme, which has resulted in complete refurbishment of the bandroom to include a state of the art rehearsal and recording studio.

Two floors

In addition, the bandroom is now spread over two floors to include purpose built storage rooms, library, and several smaller rehearsal rooms.

The official opening will take place on 5th June, where everyone is welcome to come and have alook around the new premises.
