Leave the M3 at Junction 4 (Frimley exit) and turn north.
If you were travelling South on the M3, there is a set of traffic lights where the slip road comes onto a roundabout. You should turn left at this roundabout passing under the M3 and at the next roundabout (Where the north bound slip road from the M3 joins) you should be in the right hand lane and should turn right towards Reading, Wokingham and Camberley.
If you were travelling North on the M3, keep to the left hand lane of the slip road and when it comes to a roundabout, follow the road to the left, towards Reading, Wokingham and Camberley.
Proceed along this dual carriageway for about two miles, passing through three sets of traffic lights (the third set is actually a double set and has a right turn into the York Town Industrial Estate), until you come to a large roundabout with several sets of traffic lights controlling the exits. (This is known locally as "The Meadows")
As you approach the lights, move to the left or centre lanes ready to go straight across the roundabout. (This is where you cross the A30)
When the lights permit, proceed to the next set of lights and go straight on (actually the third exit after the one you came from and signposted to Sandhurst, Wokingham, Crowthorne & Bracknell).
Continue along a section of dual carriageway through a set of traffic lights controlling the entrance/exit of the Tesco and Marks & Spencers super-stores on the right. The dual carriageway narrows to a single carriageway just before a roundabout. Go straight over the roundabout and continue until the road widens at a traffic light controlled juntion.
Move to the centre or right hand lane ready to go straight across the junction. When the lights permit, proceed over the A321, past the Rackstraw (Beefeater) pub on the left and be ready for the road to narrow back to a single lane again. You are now on the Sandhurst/Crowthorne bypass.
Follow this road over a roundabout (with a right turn to Owlsmoor), heading towards Bracknell. Continue over another roundabout (into residential areas), past some traffic islands at a turning to the right, and on to yet another roundabout. Go straight on at this roundabout, (the road widens to allow traffic to overtake as the road climbs up a hill, but narrows again at the top) and continue for about a mile and a half. The road sweeps down through pine trees to a roundabout where the road splits left to Crowthorne and straight on towards Bracknell.
Move to the right hand lane and go straight on (towards Bracknell), but beware of the road from Crowthorne joining on the left where the road again becomes dual carriageway.
Move to the left hand lane ready to turn left at the next roundabout.
Turn left at the roundabout onto Nine Mile Ride (The band room is in this road, just 3 roundabouts away). Continue on this road passing a turning to the Pay & Play golf course on the right, for about a mile. (The road is now straight.)
The first roundabout that you come to is new and is the new access to the "Road Research Laboratory". Continue straight on past this roundabout to the next one just a couple of hundred yards further on and continue straight over that one as well.
Just after the roundabout, the road widens as it passes the entrance to Hewlett Packard on the right, then narrows again and continues to the last roundabout.
Go straight on again over the roundabout (second exit) and after about a quarter of a mile, you pass the entrance to "The Ravenswood Village" on the left with Heathlands Road directly opposite on the right.
Slow down and watch for the St Sebastian church on the right (About 100 Yards).
There is a signpost on the left side of the road, where the road starts to fall away, that indicates the Church hall and points to the access road that leads to the Church hall, the St Sebastian school and the band room.
Turn right into this access road and as you enter, bear left into the Parish Centre car park.
You can park in this car park if you wish, but most of the band members continue to the end and turn right into the school playground.
Beware!
Some new dark green gates have recently been installed across the entrance to the school playground. There is a sign saying no entry but just ignore that and carry on into the playground.
