New Chairman
Monday 10th Jun 2002, the wee hours
Last Thursday, our new Chairman Phil Mottershead, represented the band in the presentation of the £500 cheque to The Countess of Chester Breast Care Appeal. This was the money raised from the joint concert recently with The Chester Male Voice Choir. Phil was assisted by band member Helen Clowes. Keep a look out in The Chronicle for coverage…. Phil has taken over as Chairman following the retirement of Ian MacDonald. A longstanding member of the band, Phil had the following words for e-news: "Just a short 'message from the Chairman' to say how pleased and honoured I am to take on this role and I will of course carry it out to the best of my ability. Also to thank everyone both in the Training Band and the Senior Band for their ongoing commitment and dedication to the task of ensuring that together we have a bright musical future. On behalf of the Band, I would also like to thank Ian McDonald for all the time and effort he has devoted to the band over the years, both as Chairman and in the trombone section." Phil has seen the band through many successes over the years, and takes on the role at an exciting time. Good luck Phil! We’ll profile Phil in later editions of e-news… all stories please, anonymity will be respected… old photos even better!
