Notably attending the National Finals with us in 2007 and helping to secure our 3rd section national champion performance. and promotion to the 2nd section.<\/p>\n
In December 2009,\u00a0Peter Bates, Chairman of the NWABBA, paid a ‘surprise’ visit to\u00a0the band’s annual Christmas concert at Middleton cricket club,\u00a0to award Geoff with a special Diploma of honour and long service medal to commemorate Geoff’s 60 years service to the banding movement.<\/p>\n
