Toddbrook Reservoir

10/8/2019

During the events at Toddbrook Reservoir, the whole county had eyes on Whaley Bridge.  Despite the torrential rain on Wednesday 31st July which caused the damage to the dam, we still managed to get to rehearsal in our bandroom in Kettlehulsme that evening, even though the road had been closed due to flooding earlier in the day.  And many of the players even drove through the centre of Whaley, little knowing at that stage of the danger they were in.

By Tuesday of the following week the rescue was still ongoing and it was uncertain whether the roads would be open by Wednesday, which would be our final rehearsal for our scheduled engagement at Chatsworth on Saturday.  Reluctantly we decided to err on the side of caution and cancel the rehearsal, and therefore also the Chatsworth engagement.  A difficult decision, but without that final rehearsal we wouldn't do ourselves justice in such a prestigious location.  And Chatsworth, of course, were totally sympathetic and fully understanding given the circumstances, and will invite us back next year.
