"I would like to take this opportunity to especially thank Jenny for all the hard work she has carried out for the band, particularly as secretary. It is a thankless task that takes a considerable amount of time and organisation to achieve and she has done this to an incredibly high standard. I was hugely saddened to learn that Jenny was having to step away from the band because of hearing issues. She will be greatly missed not only as the secretary but as a fantastic member of the cornet section. She could always be relied upon to put her part in, which is great because she was often the only member of the back row! We are now lucky to have gained some more players in this section, however, they have their work cut out trying to fill the huge gap that Jenny will leave."

As a small token of our thanks and as a memento of her time with the band, Jenny was presented with an (almost) aptly named rose- The Trumpeter.
