Annual Dinner and Prizegiving
The band annual dinner and prizegiving took
place on Saturday 5th April 2008 at Foxton locks. The evening
was enjoyed by all who attended. Thanks Derek for making the
arrangements.
For a number of reasons the presentation of
prizes had to be spread out over the next few weeks the recipients are:
 The prize to the player who has given the most
encouragement to a fellow player was
awarded to Steve Alexander (Soprano) for the way he has mentored
and been a role model to Jack (Rep.)
 The
Bandsperson of the Year, voted
by members of the band, was awarded to Alison
Harding. On presenting the trophy Garry Sleath (MD) commended
Alison on the hard work she had put in sitting on the Principal Cornet
chair since Kirk left for pastures new.
 Most improved player, chosen by Garry Sleath was awarded to Dave Harrold,
Euphonium. Garry commented that most improved player was not the sole
preserve of the younger members and in awarding Dave the prize he was
recognising the hard work and improvement made by one of the more
experienced members of the band.
The Attendance Prize was awarded to Bob Fouldes solo horn, who
despite being with the band for less than 12 months has been ever present
at rehearsals and engagements.
Congratulations to all the prize winners.
