Fran remains leader

Frances Calver remains at the West of England BBA helm following their recent AGM of the organisation.

Tuesday, 22 September 2009

The Annual Meeting of the Council of West of England Brass Band Associations was held on Saturday 19th September when members received a satisfactory report from the Secretary and excellent trading results from the Treasurer.

Election

The election of officers resulted in Frances Calver (chairman), Brian Elliott (secretary), Mike Knapton (treasurer) and Vivian Willcock (registrar) taking positions for the next 12 months.

Tribute was paid to Bill Poulton who has retired from the Council.

He had served as a member of Council from it's inception in 1982 and for many years as Registrar and vice-chairman. His experience and knowledge will be greatly missed.

Best wishes

Best wishes were conveyed to Narelle Barker (Cornwall BBA delegate) and husband Graham on the birth of a baby girl last Friday morning.

Band delegates will not only have to contend with Narelle at the contest assembly entrance, but another Cornish "bouncer" — you have been warned!
