I'm not sure how many people noticed the Drum go bang near the end of the last Home game.

It underwent a few repairs this week ready for the next game but there's no guarantee how long it will last.

Yogi is on his 4th drum since he started in 2008 and all were provided by him or myself. This latest one has had some stick this season and hopefully will last the season out until the fat lady comes singing.

A few people are trying to raise funds to help purchase a NEW drum for next season.

I know people either love or hate the drum but if anyone can spare anything it would be gratefully appreciated

Think the home drum adds to the atmosphere

Thank you to everyone who contributed.

£600 raised for a New Drum and improved top Skin.

looks like the Go Fund Me has just started to replace the Flags we had.

I’ll chip in for a nice comfy chair so you can sit outside in the car park with drum

Donated a few days when the target was £500, any idea what the other 500 has been added more recently is for Kev?

I'm not the one playing the Drum or the one who set the Go Fund Me Page up.

In fact the guy who set it up didn't know Yogi until half way through.

I have several Marching Drums including Tenor Drums but the make up and acoustics topped with a marching skin and Sticks (Beaters) does not work well in a stadium environment. Yogi has spoken with John Hemingway (England Supporters Band) for an idea on the costs and I have spoken with Premier Percussion and the price for a decent set up is a lot more than initially thought. Hence the price increase half way through.
