PLEASE can we use the letters page of your newspaper to thank the very generous people of Andover for their donations at the Farmers’ Market on September 21.

The sum of £178.83 was raised.

This money continues to help the band fund its free tuition and loan of instrument programme, which enables us to keep producing high quality entertainment for the people of Andover and surrounding areas.

We are very grateful for this continued support and to see many people enjoying the music and taking the time to listen.

Eddie Elmslie, secretary, Andover Town Band
