ANDOVER Town Band would like to say a huge thank-you to all the people who enjoyed our two festive performances in the Time Ring on Saturday and Sunday December 19 and 20 during the markets.

Through their generosity we have managed to raise the sum of £794.82 which is absolutely fantastic.

We really are grateful for this support and the money will continue to be invested in developing the band so it can keep on providing high quality entertainment for the people of Andover and surrounding areas and in supporting other charitable organisations.

The band has received enormous support from numerous people and organisations in Andover during 2015. This goodwill generates further encouragement for the band, reflected in the many successes it has achieved within the year. We will be hard at work again in 2016 helping to entertain Andover and put it further on the map. The band wishes everyone a Happy New Year!

Eddie Elmslie, secretary, Andover Town Band, Humberstone Road, Andover.
