FLOOKBURGH Band's latest concert provided the opportunity to display the band's brand new uniforms and also say thanks to three people.

One was Ivan Hodgson, pictured centre with musical director John Iveson, who bought the uniforms in memory of his brother the late Harvey Hodgson, a bass player with the band for many years.

Between them is cornet player Jack Manning who is retiring from full-time playing with the band after more than 50 years.

On the left of the picture is Archie Marsden who is retiring after 17 years as band treasurer.

The band's next concert is at Ulverston's Coronation Hall, on Saturday, March 1, at 7.30pm. Tickets at the hall's box office, tel 01229-587140.
