Training Band Master gets recognition

Tony Cooper, Chairman of Leiston-cum-Sizewell Town Council presented the 'Chairman's Cup' to Philip Glennon our Training Band Master on Monday 26th March 2012 in recognition of all the good work he does for the young (and old) members of the band.

The Chairman's cup was introduces 3 years ago by the then Chairman, Ann Nunn, as she felt the Council, on behalf of the Town, should be able to give recognition to the many residents who deserve it for the unstinting way they serve the town in a voluntary capacity and make all our lives a bit better .

Well done Philip!
