There is welcome news for the players and supporters of the Vernon Building Society Band.

Excited

Writing on their Facebook site the stated: "To say we are excited is an understatement!

Following such a long break we will begin the process of rebuilding the band towards our initial objectives of delivering a full programme of concerts in the run up to Christmas and then focusing on the North West area contest in February."

Thanks

They added: "We would like thank everyone who has supported us through this turbulent time and the messages of support we have received has kept us going through all of this."

Although there are still vacancies for the band to fill in terms of personnel, it is hoped that the new beginning will see new and former players become part of a band that is looking to the future with renewed optimism.
