Due to the Covid-19 pandemic, Royal Buckley faced some of the most challenging times ever encountered in our 200 year history.
From March 2020 to December 2021, every event was cancelled & we need to raise funds, to cover the cost of maintenance & utilities for our band room, to ensure we are able to rehearse & perform once more.
