The Drake Music Project

The 2003 Reunion raised £398.92 for our chosen charity The Drake Music Project

We recieved this message from them on the 13th Nov 2003:

"Hi folks,
Thank-you so much for your donation of £392.98 to our project, supporting disabled musicians of all ages using technology. You have touched the lives of some wonderful people through your support, and that coming from your music making makes it all the more special. Many thanks to all who have been involved on behalf of the team in Bristol, and to Steve Annette for getting in touch with us."

Best wishes from Anna Batson
(Project Co-ordinator)

Introduction

We were all, at one time or other, questioned and perhaps even criticised by friends outside of the movement for the amount of time we dedicated to the Bristol Unicorns. "Can't you miss it, just this once?" they'd ask as they told us how great it would be to go and see Rovers thrash City! To many people our age it must have seemed a sad way to spend our spare time. They couldn't imagine getting up at 6am on a Saturday or Sunday for an all day rehearsal at Colerne, only to be shouted and bawled at if things didn't quite go as expected. It must have seemed really masochistic to go back for more every Tuesday and Thursday evening!
These people however, would later see the obvious benefits of belonging to an organisation such as this. With the hours of hard work and commitment came the rewards of travel, championship titles and consequently all the accolades and publicity. No one could ever say it was handed to us on a plate, because we all, members and supporters alike, had to make sacrifices to achieve the successes we did.
