Here's a chance to put the seasonal goodwill into practical action. CM passenger transport writer Martin Watkins tells me that his good friends in the National Youth Jazz Orchestra —famous for their tribute to the lorry drivers and cafe owners of this country, entitled " Greasy Spoon "—are having some transport problems themselves.
They are off to the USA in March to play in the bicentennial celebrations but are entangled in a "Catch 22 " situation. Being self-supporting they are having to play many concerts alt over this country to raise the money to go to the States —but their transport costs are taking most of the profits from these concerts.
As the orchestra has access to maintenance facilities and has a psv driver it sees its solution as acquiring or hiring a 41-seat coach really cheap. So if any reader can help, the man to contact is Ron Bishop, on Three Rivers 3030.
