Presentation Night 2008

Report By Officer Sarah Adams

Glitz and Glamour descended on the Band HQ on Saturday 31st January 2009 for the Band’s Annual Presentation Night, where awards were presented for 2008. As with previous years, it was another great success, with the band and drums all looking stunning in their “Black Tie and Evening Dress” outfits.

The evening started with the presentation of the awards, followed by the promotions.  Once the ceremony was over, entertainment was provided by the band Columbia featuring our very own Sgt Tommy Clayden on drum kit, where band members and guests danced the night away.

The evening was enjoyed by a crowd of 250 and finished at around 12.45 pm.

Listed below are the awards and promotions
