In the late 1980’s a German Band sub-group was formed known as “Die Munchen Muncheners Spasskapellar”, undertaking engagements from a repertoire of German Bierkeller music brought in by the then MD Tony Dowd (former bandsman with the Royal Green Jackets) who had served in Germany. This sub-group still performs today.

In 1993 the band was fortunate in acquiring a set of quilted waterproofs, funded by the Chairman of Bassetlaw District Council’s Annual Appeal fund. 

A presentation evening was held at the Miners Welfare, which the Chairman, Councillor Doris Webster attended, together with the Vice-Chairman, Councillor Des Hoare, and Mrs Hoare.
