CHAIRMAN’S ANNUAL REPORT 2012-13
The Phoenix Concert
Band meets on Friday evenings at the SCOLA premises in Sutton as an
“affiliated” body.
During the past
academic year, we held another very successful residential weekend at Wychcroft in January.
We were pleased to be invited to play again in February at Redhill after a break the previous year. In April we were invited to play at Pevensey Bay and in June we played at Morden Hall. Our year will end again with the Chipstead Village Flower Show in July. A small group from the band also gave a short
Christmas concert for Sutton senior citizens.
Suggestions for
future activities are welcome, particularly concerning opportunities to play at
events, as well as social events.
We are fortunate to
have a leader of the calibre of Paul, who has done so much to continue to raise
the standard of the band.
Thanks are due to
our leader, Paul, who has provided us with a mass of attractive new music to
play; our treasurer, Neil, for his sound financial stewardship; our secretary,
Richard; Roger for maintaining the website (www.phoenixband.org.uk);
Penny, our social secretary; and Hannah for helping with the library.
Finally, I should
like to thank every member of the band for your regular attendance, without
which we would have nothing.
