3rd May 2010 - Golf Tournament Report
On Sunday 2nd May 2010 we held our POTH Tour Golf Tournament at Burnfield Golf Club, Newtownabbey.  The day begun about 8 o'clock for those members in our band playing.  The main tee-off time was at 1000 hours.  We had a great turnout of around 30+ golfers fighting it out to be the 1st ever POTH Golf winner.  We as a band would like to thank all who supported our event weather this be from those who played, to those who sponsored each hole etc.  Also a big thank you goes out to Burnfield Golf Club who allowed us to hold the event.  Well done to those who won prizes who were mainly from the Ulster Grenadiers, also well done to a member off our band winning what I would classify the worst dressed when he arrived in all Lime Green.

1st April 2010 - CD Release Update
We will be releasing our 25th Anniversary CD during 2010.  At present we aim to have this in circulation during May or June.  A lot off hard work has been done in producing this CD which will include modern and a few older flute band tunes which should suit every generation.  The first 100 buyers off this CD will also receive a free Battle of the bands DVD from 2007.  If you are interested in pre-ordering the CD please email us.

30th October 2009 - Site Update
On this day Pride of the Hill have launched the re-design of their new website for 2010.  Quite a few modifications have taken place which has resulted in a lot of hard work.  The layout of the website has changed and hopefully it has been made more user friendly.  Unfortunately a few sections have not been fully completed but should be done in the near future.  We also ain to possible as a few new sections. 
Have you a view on our new design?  Let us know on our guestbook or register to our online forum.

We must also apologise for the downtime in the last few weeks.  This was due to a server problem with our hosts Loyalist bears but thankfully everything is up and running fine now.
