Stepping down

Mark will continue as Resident Conductor of Wingates, and takes over from Mike Cotter who due to personal reasons, has decided to step down from the position.

Fred Little added: "Mike intends to maintain contact with the Longridge Band but at a reduced pace. So it is not farewell and we would like to thank him for his hard work (often unseen) over many years."
