At the Band’s AGM in April 2003, it was decided that a trophy shield would be awarded annually in memory of Gordon Saunders. Gordon was the Band’s conductor for eight happy and successful years until his untimely death in October 2002.
The winner of the shield would be the band member judged to have made the greatest contribution (not necessarily musical) to the Band over the past year, as voted by the whole membership. The shield is normally presented at the Band’s annual Christmas concert.
Winners of the Gordon Saunders Memorial Shield to date:
