The Patrons Association was formed to generate interest in the band in particular and brass music in general. Members are charged an annual donation of £20 or a lifetime membership for £200. For this they receive Newsletters which keep them up to date with Concert dates/venues, together with snippets of information and gossip from the banding scene; Foden's "Fanfare" magazine offering articles by and about the players themselves presented in a more 'glossy' way; Free tickets to the Patrons Concert held each year in the band's home town of Sandbach.
