Where is V.B`` ? Sadly, all good things come to an end. Is it really 15 years since the band was formed !!
How time passes. The pandemic has put paid to a great many of the events we enjoyed doing :-
Filey Bandstand, North Yorkshire Moors Railway,
Charity events, Church fetes, Weddings, and many others.
Unfortunately, some band members have retired or left us for good, so it has been decided to concentrate solely on Hunmanby Silver Band. As the new season gets under way, there will, hopefully, be more time for rehearsals (twice weekly).
Thank you for all the support you have given the band.
Another era passes.

ROB DAWSON
July 2021
ROB DAWSON - It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of a valued member of the band after a short illness. Rob was a true gentleman, a good euphonium player and a great friend to us all. He will be sorely missed.
On a personal note - Rob joined the band about five years ago, having not played for quite a number of years, I remember the first rehearsal he attended and afterwards he said to me that he was a bit rusty, well if that was rusty it didn`t sound it to me. I also remember saying to Rob, i`ll soon have you on 1st Euph. Rob and I were a good team, I thoroughly enjoyed playing alongside him. We both knew each others strengths and weaknesses. I will miss him immensely. R.I.P ROB. (Howard Newlove - Euphonium)

It is with deep sadness that I have to announce the passing of Mr Garry Batten. Garry was a founder member of the band and conducted the band on numerous occasions. His contribution during his time with the band was much appreciated. He will be sadly missed by all who knew him.
