African return

Front row cornet Pete Howell is leaving us for year whilst on sabbatical in the states, whilst Hannah McGuffie returns from her travels in Africa.

In sadder news, principal trombone, Robert Marsh, is leaving to pursue other interests, and the band wish himm the best of luck, with their thanks for the dedication he has shown over the years.
