Two stalwarts of WSB celebrate their 80th birthdays.
During the last few months, two long serving members of Wantage Silver Band celebrated their 80th Birthdays!
WSB Chairman Eleanor Turner and WSB Bandmaster Eileen Sykes both reached this significant milestone a day apart in June 2024. Fellow Wantage Community Brass member, Andrew Barber, presented them with gifts in our very own band hall to mark this momentous occasion and added the following:
"Wantage Community Brass wrote greetings in special cards, and with contributions from every player, we treated them with meaningful gifts - a wine glass for Eileen and a champagne glass for Eleanor marking their Octogenarian milestones. Our two icons have worked tirelessly up front, and behind the scenes, in making WSB hugely successful over the last 50 years, and it continues to thrive." Congratulations from everyone to Eileen and Eleanor!
