Annual Camp & Tours

Every year band members take part in a camp which allows them to rehearse parades and music for performance, as well as travel throughout the World. In recent years, the annual camp has been held in the following places:


2009 - ROYAL NOVA SCOTIA INTERNATIONAL TATTOO, CANADA

2008 - CHATSWORTH COUNTRY FAIR

The 2008 fair ran from 29-31 August 2008 in the ground of Chatsworth House in Derbyshire. Despite a rather wet few days, the Band and Drums Beat Retreat in the main ring each day and also led the children's parade where young visitors to the show were invited to march along to some well-known tunes performed by the Band and Drums of The Royal Welsh.

2006 - RAF UXBRIDGE

The first week of camp was spent rehearsing for the 160BDE Beating Retreat in Brecon on 22 June, and future concerts under the leadership of their new Bandmaster, WO1 Baldwin. The band were fortunate to use the excellent facilities of the RAF Central Band at the Headquarters in Uxbridge for what was a very successful week in which the band achieved a high musical standard with a high degree of enjoyment.

Photos from the rehearsals at RAF Uxbridge and Brecon are shown below.

Whilst rehearsing in Brecon, the Band was watched by a group of children from Cilffriw Primary School in Neath, who were on a visit to the South Wales Borderers Museum in the Barracks to study World War II. The Bandmaster invited the children, and their teacher Mrs Jones, to march along with the Band.
