  • Waltham St. Lawrence Silver Band Chairman's Report 2017
    Waltham St. Lawrence Silver Band Chairman’s Report 2017 I would like to thank the Parish council for inviting me to this meeting, unfortunately due to my work commitments I cannot attend this year. Please find below highlights of my Chairman’s report covering 2017. It has been a very difficult year for the band. There have been several highs but also some very deep lows. We have gained six new members but we have also lost six members, through relocation and ill health. In May, we lost Howard Lunn, who had been a member of the band for 24 years, a close personal friend of mine and also to many in the band. The band and I consider ourselves extremely lucky that we were able to play for him at The Duchess of Kent Hospice in Reading shortly before his passing. I know he, his family and the other patients thoroughly enjoyed the event even though there wasn’t a dry eye anywhere by the time we had finished. In April we played a memorial concert in the Alexandra Gardens, Windsor, for Paul Singleton who was also a band member for over 20 years. The event, organised by his widow, Alison Singleton, raised over £6,000 for the Thames Valley Hospice. In May we held our annual senior citizen’s party. The band played whilst our guests enjoyed a wonderful afternoon tea. Entertainment was also provided by singer Lea Lyle and her band with special guest star, our band president, Wendy Craig! June was a very busy time for the band, engagements on the Henley band stand, the Parish fete, The Guards Association garden party, a concert at St.
