Devizes Town Band held its annual general meeting on the 9th of June, 2008. During the 2007-2008 fiscal year, the band raised £1,700 for local charities (with a special focus on the Devizes and District Opportunity Centre), as well as investing substantially in new music and uniforms. Highlights of the year included the second annual St. George’s Day Concert and first Poppy Appeal concert. Kelvin Nash was re-elected as Chairman, and Paul Jakeman was elected to join the committee as Librarian. Victoria Winchcombe has stepped down as Publicity Officer after her recent move. The chair offered special thanks to Vicky for her contribution to the band in recent years. The band voted to support the Wiltshire Air Ambulance and Devizes Guides Building Fund during the 2008-2009 season.
The band has a new web site and if you’re reading this then you’re already there. It’s WordPress based with a theme heavily modified to suit the purpose of the site and hopefully the style and colours of the band. This should make it much easier to keep the site up to date as content can now be added by different band members as appropriate.
If you have any questions about the web site please email me or any of the band members listed on the Contact page.
