    Abstract:
    When a band official resigns or retires, they are often presented with something to show the appreciation of the members of the band for their work and service. In some cases, this takes the form of an object - perhaps a clock, or watch - usually something that relates to their position (conductors often received engraved batons). In other cases, a certificate may be presented to mark the occasion, such as the highly decorated and illustrated certificate presented to Charles Ashby on 30 March 1914, on serving as secretary to the Rushden Temperance Silver Prize Band for 21 years.
