Band) Cyflawniadau a pherfformladau Achievements and performances Adroddiad y Cadeirydd Chairman's Report This year has been another busy and successful year for the Band and leaves me in no doubt that the future of this amazing organisation is bright and in safe hands. As I take you on a whistle stop tour of each band's accomplishments, I'm sure you will all agree that hard work and dedication always reap reward. But reward doesn't always mean success on the competition stage. It is highlighted in so many other ways, which is why I'm so proud thai we are such an inclusive band and give opportunities to all, despite their musical ability. r & Interm diat B nds Maggie has once again been working diligently with both these bands over the past 12 months and the numbers of new members joining is the highest I've seen for quite some time. The Junior Band at present have 27 members, with emails continuing to come in from parents wanting their children to join. This makes me so proud and as somoene who works in schools around the Island, there's nothing that makes me prouder than when a head teacher or class teacher talks about the Junior Band as pupils in their school have become members. With regard to the Junior Band in particular, tutoring these youngsters isnl always easy and they're a lively bunch to say the least, but I'm in awe of Maggie's patience and enthusiasm. If anyone deserves a medal for perseverance, it's her! The Intermediate Band of course are the next step up in standard and having lost some players last year to the Youth Band as they developed in their playing, those still in the Intermediate Band over the past 12 months have really improved musically. Although this band have slightly fewer members than the Junior Band, there's no less enthusiasm from Maggie or the players. I'm constantly amazed at how this group create such wonderful sounds and regularly perform at such a high standard. What a year it's been for the Youth Band, having won their competition at last years Eisteddfod Genedlaethol in Boduan and then going forward to represent Wales at the European Youth Brass Band Championships in Lithuania in May this year. The hard work and dedication that it took for this young band to be able to perform on that stage at such a high level and to hold their own against other bands of such quality was a remarkable achievement, driven by the enthusiasm and at, times 'tough grind, of their conductor, Pete. He has a way of inspiring the youth band with humour, but always with expectation. There's a mutual respect between Pete and our youth players and a relationship I very much hope will continue for many years. W Band This group of individuals, both 'younger' and 'older', led of course by Fred, sum up to me the true value of music making. They meet up on a weekly basis, to enjoy the process of playing and making music, but also to enjoy each others company and just to have fun. I can vouch for this having attended a few rehearsals this year honing my skills as a professional bass drum player! Thank you Fred for continuing to inspire the LSW and dedicate your time every week to this group of remarkable individuals. r Band As the Youth Band were taking priority this year, the Senior Band decided to take a step back from cornpeting. The most obvious competition ommited from our diary being the Welsh Regionals, but we'll be back in 2025. In order to keep everyone focused and motivated, we chose to compete for the first time at the ConsTest at Birmingham Conservatoire, bringing home the third prize as well the prize for best First Section Band. Thank you to Bari once again for his leadership and hard work thoughout the year. It's been wonderful having the opportunity to do different things in the community such as dressing up as pirates and playing for all perforMan￿S of the Treasu￿ Island pantomime put on by the Castle Players. We were also invited to play at the Emergency Services Chistmas Carol Service at Bangor Cathedral, which was a true honour, and were once again invited back to perform the opening concert at Beaumaris Festival. As I step down as chair, I want to thank you all as a committee for helping and supporting me in this role and I want to wish the new Chairman all the very best or the future. Obvious gratitude must be given to Gary as Secretary and Mags as Treasurer. Both roles can be time consuming and thankless at times, but I want to publicly thank you for your service and for your support of me during this time. I started my report by saying that I was proud of the rewards that being a member of this band bring Playing in a band brings an incredibe sense of joy and camaraderie, as people come together to create something greater than the sum of their parts. It fosters collaboration, encouraging individuals to listen, share ideas, and harmonise, not just musically, but also socially. The exhilorating experience of performing live cultivates confidence and stage presence, while the shared passion for music builds lasting friendships. The thrill of rehearsing and performing can lead to unforgettable memories and profound connection, making it a fulfilling and enriching experience. I have met some of the most important people in my life now through this band. They are there for me in good times and bad and have enriched my life so much. This band has given me so much more than just musical experiences. It's given me a family and I will be forever grateful for that.

Bydd yr elusen yn dal swm penodol o arian cytyngedig wrth gefn yn unol a'r polisi Arian wrth gefn. Roedd swm yr arian cyfyngedig wrth gefn ar 30 Ebrill 2024 yn £27,743.75, colled 0 £2,813.04 O'r £30,556.79 ar 30 Ebrill 2023. Cyfanswm yr incwm ar gyfer y flwyddyn oedd £105,782.90 a cyfanswm y gwariant oedd £79,112.58. Mae categori gwariant wedi ei ymneilltuo ar gyfer pob gwariant sydd yn adlewyrchu defnydd yr adnodd. Mae costau sydd yn gallu cael eu hadnabod ar gyfer un gweithgaredd wedi eu dosrannu ar gyfer y weithgaredd benodol honno. Mae costau sy'n cael eu rhannu rhwng gweithgareddau wedi eu dosrannu rhwng y gweithgareddau perthnasol yn resymol, cyfiawnadwy a chyson. Roedd yr incwm yn sylweddol uwch na'r blynyddoedd blaenorol gan ein bod wedi bod yn codi arian tuag daith y Band leuenctid i Bencampwriaethau Ewrop yn Lithiwania. Gyda sefyllfa ariannol gymharol iach y nod ar gyfer y flwyddyn nesaf fydd i godi'r gronfa Arian wrth gefn yn 01 i'r £40,000 angenrheidiol yn unol a'r polisi. The main income and expenditure of the charity is considered unrestricted. The charity will hold the necessary reserves as stated in the Reserves policy. The restricted reserves at 30 April 2024 were £27.743.75, an decrease of £2,813.04 from £30,556.79 at 30 April 2023. Total income for the year was £105,782 and total expenditure was £79,112.58. All costs are allocated to expenditure categories reflecting the use of the resource. Direct costs attributable to a single activity are allocated directly to that activity. Shared costs are apportioned between the activities they contribute to on a reasonable, justifiable and consistent basis. The income was signilicantly higher than in previous years due to the fundraising efforts taking place to send the Youth Band to the European Championships in Lithuania. With a relatively healthy bank balance the aim for the next year is to return the Restricted reserves to the £40,000 as required by the policy. Polisi arian wrth gefn Mae arian yn cael ei gadw wrth gefn i'w ddefnyddio fel bo'r angen ar wariant sylweddol fel gwaith cynnal a chadw ar y Bandroom ac ar gyfer prynnu offerynau. Reserves policy Reserves are retained for use when required on major expenditure items such as maintenance and improvement of the Bandroom and for instrument purchases.
