Review of the year 2021
The committee entered the New Year unchanged, but the AGM took place via Zoom, Daisy O’Dell continued as General and Concert Secretary. Mary Waudby in Public relations and as Contest Secretary , Chas Reynolds as Treasurer, Peter Thomason as Chairman, Andrew Leach as Librarian. Phil Clamp tendered his resignation as property manager citing change of employment entailing increased work load. We reluctantly accepted this and will miss his contribution to the committee. Dave Belton volunteered to replace Phil and was accepted. Following the death of our President Councillor ( and former Mayor of Trafford) Jane Baugh in 202O, Stephen Ash was offered the position of President which he accepted and Dr Peter Baugh Janes husband was invited to become a Vice President which we are pleased he accepted. The bands charity contribution for the year was in memory of our previous President. Jane Baugh.
Continued thanks go to the membership of Sale Brass for their commitment during the continued imposition of the pandemic. Unfortunately this meant the annual area contests couldn’t take place. Although Matthew Hindle continued in the position of M.D. after much consideration he found the pressures of work and the commute to Sale twice a week compromising his ability to give Sale brass the commitment needed and relinquished his post with the band.
When the restrictions over Covid were relaxed we drew up protocols and risk assessments to restart rehearsals and as our original rehearsal space was too small to safely use we hired local premises. Due to Matt Hindle leaving we decided to offer Neil Venables the position on M.D. on a temporary basis. In July Anne Baume Sale Community Band M.D. Relocated out of the area and handed the reigns to Steve Ash. We are happy to say the Community band is going from strength to strength.
In August we received the sad news that Viv Thorpe a long standing member of Sale Brass died after a heart attack. A Scratch band was assembled to play at his funeral; Viv will be missed by many.
In November the band played in its first public concert for nearly two years this was a collaborative venture to celebrate the life of our past President Jane Baugh. This was followed the next day leading the Armistice Parade at the Sale Cenotaph.
Following the success of the carol playing round the streets last Christmas we repeated the offer which led to some forty-five such requests. This resulted in the band splitting to cover as many of the requests as possible. No fee was asked for this but donations to our Charities were welcomed. Thanks go to our two secretaries for the unenviable task of organising the logistics and ensuring ours and the public’s safety.
We look forward to better times in the future when we can continue to re-engage with the people of Trafford and meet up with our friends in the banding community.
