Travel plans in place for 2014 for Spinnaker

A renewed sponsorship deal sees Spinnaker Brass able to plan their musical travels for the future.

Spinnaker Brass
 

Spinnaker Brass has just received a great Christmas present with the news that Luckett's Travel of Fareham has agreed to renew their generous sponsorship of the band.

Partnership

The partnership commenced in 2010 and enabled Spinnaker Brass to purchase uniforms and banners as well as other equipment. This renewed sponsorship will aid the band in developing its music and instrumental resources.

Pleasure

David Luckett, Chairman of Luckett’s Travel told 4BR: "It has been a pleasure to see Spinnaker Brass develop over the past few years and it has become a band that the town of Fareham can be very proud."

The partnership is a logical one as Spinnaker Brass is an integral part of the town, as is Luckett’s Travel, but with both having activities and ambition on a far bigger scaleLuckett's Travel Chairman

Ambition

He added: "The partnership is a logical one as Spinnaker Brass is an integral part of the town, as is Luckett’s Travel, but with both having activities and ambition on a far bigger scale."

Spinnaker Brass has been in existence since August 2007 and has approximately 25 members varying in personnel from students to astrophysicist!
