Goodwick Brass Band Presentation
|
Goodwick Brass Band was originally formed in 1911 by the headmaster of the local school. The band was reformed in 1987 by John Evans and since then has grown from strength to strength, it now has both an active senior and youth band which takes its membership from a wide cross section of the community from all over Pembrokeshire.
The Band has seen increasing success in the contest arena having recently been promoted to the first section and also growing acclaim on the concert stage. The band rounded off a tremendous string of achievements last year by becoming Welsh Second Section champions with Matthew Jenkins being named Welsh Conductor of the Year principally for his commitment to developing new young brass talent.

£1.5m Donated to Air Ambulance Services
|
|
Every year the air ambulance services in England and Wales save thousands of lives by providing rapid medical care in emergencies.
Since 2007, Freemasons have donated more than £1.5 million in support, including this year’s grant of £192,000 from The Freemasons’ Grand Charity.
Speaking about the donation Laura Chapman, Chief Executive of The Freemasons’ Grand Charity, said:
“A great many lives would be lost without the swift life-saving help provided by the air ambulance doctors and paramedics.
"This is why Freemasons are passionate about supporting the air ambulance services in England and Wales.
"Air ambulance charities are reliant on voluntary donations to operate, and we hope that our contributions will help them to continue saving lives in the future.”
