Ivancement of education, arKI the athIan￿ment of the arts, hetitage, culturè, or
scien￿ through the operaiion of a brass band.
Achievèments and Perfomiance
During the period 1 March 2024 to 28 February 2025. the barKI had another busy
year. In March 2024. the band conyeted in the Scottish Championships.
Unfortunately the result did not go in the Band's favour and we were relegated to th8
First Section but the band is working hard to ieturn to Ihe top section in banding in
the futtire. In Aprll 2024, the band partipaled in a fundraising concert for our local
church along wrth the church organist. We aso competed in trE Bntish Open Spring
Festival in Blackpool in 2024 and agawi secured our retum to this contest for
next year. The month of June saw the band busy with Gala Days and culminating at
the end of June in the Bo'ness Fair. One Sunday aftemoon in August we also held a
free concert in the bandstand of the local park which was very well attended. We
competed in the West of Swtland Entertanment Contest on 31 August 2024
Troon and c3me a very credible 4th. Our Annual cOr￿rt was held in September
and this gave us an cpportunrty to showcase our Ihriving Youth Band. In November
2024. as well as ￿adIng the Remembtance Parades in Falkirk and Bo'ness. the Band
competed in the Scottish Open Brass Band Contest under th8 direclion of our new
Musical Director and the Youth Band also compeled in the Youth Band
Championships. De￿rnber was aJain a very busy month for the band with two
Christmas Concerts and playing Christrnas Carols in local supemiarkets and around
the communrty of Bo'r￿& Vthilst s(Yne of the band's resutts in ￿)ntests have not

been in our favwr this year. as a band w¥E have continued to retan our players wth
limited tumover which is sadly not case for many bands across the UK who are
struggling for players. We are lookiru fO￿ard to the new year with our new Musical
Director and continuing lo make music arKI enlertaining our local community and
beyond. Fdlowing the devastating fire in 2019, which resutted in our band hall being
very badly damaged and not able to be used, and after a greal deal of discussions
with the Insurer8 including the involvement of the Ombudsman, we received part of
the financial settkment during the year which is reflected in the accounts.
Discussions have cornmenc£d a local arChrt￿t to scope our options going
forward for either a rebuild of our existing band hall (K a rÉw repla￿ment and during
the comiThJ year this will be progressed furtlEr.
Financial Review
The Charity aims to generate sufficient funds to rnaintain operations. There is a
surplus for the year of £141.240 c(xnpared to a surplus last year of £774. The charity
held unrestricle(I funds of £194.609 at the year end and the committee consider that
this will enabb us to support the actNrties which are planned for the forthcoming
year, including work on the band hall. As noted above the accounts include an
insurance settlement of £173,467 in relat￿n to fire damage of the band hall, leading
to a large surplus and fvnds carrEd forward.
