Band Practise Yeovil

Me and Ralph travelled down to Yeovil this weekend for an HLC-1 band practise. We practised at the Carymoor Environmental Educational Trust Centre, where Jimmer works. Here's Ralph and Jimmer outside the main building... Our practise room was a straw bail building next to the main building, complete with grassy roof....
