In 2017 Winter Guard United Kingdom introduced its own Hall of Fame as a way of honouring the “legends” of the UK Winter Guard activity ensuring they are remembered for the indelible impressions they have left on the UK activity.
Candidates were nominated and seconded before being discussed by the Hall of Fame assessment team and we are proud to announce that the successful candidate for 2023 is Barry Davis.
Congratulations to this worthy “Legend” and there will be formal induction ceremony next weekend (Saturday 1st April) at the WGUK British Winter Guard Championships
