Betty Anderson - Honorary Patron of Hathern Band

May. 3, 2013

Betty Anderson, Honorary Patron of Hathern Band was presented with her 50 year Long Service Award from the National Association of Brass Band Conductors on Friday 3rd May. The award was presented by another long serving member of the Association, Sydney Swancott who travelled down from Doncaster to make the presentation. The ceremony took place in Oadby at the Care Home where Betty now lives and it also coincided with Betty’s 84th birthday. As a surprise members of Hathern and Ratby Bands played several pieces and Betty conducted, still showing she hasn’t lost her touch!
