0 Savages sponsor Blewbury Brass Band

  • Apr 26th
  • by martinholliss
  • · Learner Band · Main Band · News · Sponsorship

Huge thanks to Blewbury-based Savages, for sponsoring the Blewbury Brass Band.

Savages is a family-owned business that sells fruit and veg, deli foods, flowers, cards, plants, animal feeds and a wide range of gifts.  Reflecting a commitment to customer service, the shop is open every day of the week.  Founded by Tony and Pam Savage in the early 1960s, the business is now run by Richard Savage, the next generation.

The band has just embarked on a major campaign to raise close to £20,000, and the funds will be put towards buying 40-50 new instruments for a Brass Club at both the Blewbury and Hagbourne Primary Schools.  This will enable us to teach lots of local young people to play a brass instrument, a skill that will stay with many of them for the whole of their life).

If you (or anybody you know) would like to sponsor the band, do please contact Martin Holliss (treasurer@blewburybrassband.org.uk; tel 07931 376501).

Huge thanks to Judy White, a Blewbury resident, for sponsoring the Blewbury Brass Band.   Judy is the first Blewbury resident to sponsor the band this year.

The band has just embarked on a major campaign to raise close to £20,000, and the funds will be put towards buying 40-50 new instruments for a Brass Club at both the Blewbury and Hagbourne Primary Schools.  This will enable us to teach lots of local young people to play a brass instrument, a skill that will stay with many of them for the whole of their life).

If you (or anybody you know) would like to sponsor the band, do please contact Martin Holliss (treasurer@blewburybrassband.org.uk; tel 07931 376501)…who started learning the trumpet when he was 7 years old (more than 40 years ago).

For now, thank you again, Judy, for your generous support…and it goes without saying that we would love to hear from LOTS of other Blewbury residents!

0 Calnan Brothers Butchers sponsor the band

  • Apr 7th
  • by martinholliss
  • · Learner Band · Main Band · News · Sponsorship

We’re delighted to announce that Calnan Brothers (the family butchers in Hagbourne Road, Didcot) have sponsored the band once again.  They are the first of, hopefully, several companies who will sponsor the band during 2014 to buy instruments so we can start learner brass groups.

We hope their generosity will encourage you to visit Calnan Brothers – it’s definitely the best butcher in Didcot!
