On Sunday 15th June, Iain Fleming (principal tenor horn) of Whitburn Band won the 150th Anniversary Boness Slow Melody Contest which took place in Boness Recreation Centre. The senior section line-up consisted of 21 competitors from all over Scotland and proved to be a close run affair with Chick Cullen (also of Whitburn) and Claire McIlreavy of Barrhead Burgh Band being placed 2nd and 3rd respectively. Hayley Edmond made it an all-round successful day for the reigning Scottish Champions when she was awarded 2nd prize in the junior section.
