Lightning Strikes at Bispham!


Petty Officer Derek Lightning has been appointed the new Musical Director of the Bispham Sea Scouts Bugle Band.

Band representative Marjorie Deneuve told the Bandstand, "Derek brings with him an absolute wealth of sea-faring experience. For several years he was the curator of the Fylde Maritime & Lighthouse Museum. In 1988 he was accused of inappropriately touching a young girl at the venue and went on to become only the 17th person on earth to cross the paddling pool of the North Shore Claridges Hotel on a half-inflated lilo whilst wearing pyjamas!"

Lightning said, "This is a Sea Scouts Bugle Band. Are we in the right place?"
