Ther Autumn Concert in the Church with a James Bond Theme and the Christmas Concert was the usual success. May saw the second Tweed Valley Brass concert, with friends from Peebles Burgh Silver Band and combined the excellent Mills of Tweeddale exhibition. For this concert, the Future Band working with Peebles Burgh Youth Band in a joint performance.
The Borders Entertainment Contest was held in Innerleithen Memorial Hall and the Band enjoyed great support in carrying out the duties of host band. The Band was placed sixth in the competition.
In terms of fund-raising events included a Family Games Night in September; the Prosecco Afternoon Tea (December) and quiz night (April) the Coffee Morning (August). All were successful. The Silver Club continued to provide important income. We obtained grants from the SCOPS Trust towards the youth programme
St. Ronan’s continues to put youth development at the heart of the work.
The youth groups meet weekly and the players have been given opportunities to continue to develop their musical skills through these weekly lessons and ensemble playing. This summer saw the start of a new pBuzz group and an intake of older children on brass; all are making good progress. There have been some opportunities for the Future Band to play, particularly at the organisation’s various concerts.
The Future Band received a first prize at the Innerleithen Youth Brass Band Contest. The solo and ensemble players all acquitted themselves very well, with one player qualifying for the Scottish Finals and one of the Junior Ensembles becoming Scottish Champions with the other taking third place. The young players also turned out to help with the Round Table’s Santa Sleigh, earning a donation of £250. Two young members attended the NYBBS. Several took part in the biannual Borders Workshops which the Band subsidises for St. Ronan’s players.
A fourth Band Camp is organised for August.

Independent Examiner’s Report to the Trustees of St. Ronan’s Silver Band
| report on the accounts of the charity for the year ended 31 May 2025 which are get out on pages | to 3.
Respective responsibilities of trustees and examiner
The charity’s trustees are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the terms of the Charities and Trustee Investment (Scotland) Act 2005 and the Charities Accounts (Scotland) Regulations 2006. The charity trustees consider that the audit requirement of Regulation 10(1) (d) of the Accounts Regulations does not apply. It is my responsibility to examine the accounts as required under section 44(1) (c) of the A¢t and to state whether particular matters have come to my attention.
Basis of independent examiner’s statement
My examination is carried out in accordance with Regulation 11 of the Charities Accounts (Scotland) Regulations 2006. An examination includes a review ofthe accounting recards kept by the charity and a comparison of the accounts presented with those records. It also includes consideration ofany unusual items or disclosures in the accounts, and seeks explanations from the trustees concerning any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit, and consequently I do not express an audit opinion on the view given by the accounts.
Independent examiner’s statement
In the course of my examination, no matter has come to my attention
-
which gives me reasonable cause to believe that in any material respect the requirements:
-
to keep accounting records in accordance with Section 44(1) (a) of the 2005 Act and Regulation 4 of the 2006 Accounts Regulations, and
-
to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and comply with Regulation 9 of the 2006 Accounts Regulations have not been met, or 2. to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached. _ a Date:se
