Sunday 22nd December Age Concern Deal Centre for the Retired
DBA played before the Deal Centre'sChristmas Lunch, to an appreciative group of clients, who sang along with the carols. Saturday 7th December St Saviour's Parish Church, The Strand, Walmer 
A small group from the DBA squeezed into the chancel of St Saviour's Parish Church, Walmer, and performed a selection of carols and other seasonal music during the Christmas Coffee Morning from 10.00 to 12.00. We enjoyed the excellent acoustics, and a warm welcome (and a mince pie!) from the parishioners. Sunday 20th October Deal and Betteshanger RFC Kent Under 12s Rugby Festival
DBA played a short programme during the Festival. The plan had been to play outdoors under the cover of a marquee, but due to the high winds we had to retreat into the Clubhouse, leaving most of the potential listeners spectating at the rugby pitches! Nonetheless we played to a small but appreciative audience, actually with rather good acoustics, and the Club will welcome us back for another event in better weather conditions!
