PANCH Award 2012: Béa and Chester Simon
This year's PANCH award goes to Béatrice and Chester Simon. For 6 years have they now run their "carribean island" - the restaurant Muskatnuss - starting in Zurich and now continuing in Kindhausen/Volketswil under the name of Waldgarten-Muskatnuss. Through all these years PANCH had a wonderful partnership with the Simons and we were always able to present our PANCH Limes with steelband concerts in their venue - with an applauding and excited audience.
PANCH Award 2011 for Junior J. Edwards
Junior – we are excited to present to you the PANCH award 2011. You have deserved it for long! Today we'd like to thank you for all the big and the little things that you have done for PANCH and the Swiss pan community over all these years. You are an important person in our steelpan world and we hope that you stay that and that you will continue to foster, promote and develop pan music in Switzerland.PANCH Award 2010 for Pit Zünd
Honorary President of PANCH – and now also winner of the PANCH Award 2010. We are delighted to honour Pit Zünd for his tireless efforts as negotiator, mediator, facilitator and integrator.He has been an enthusiastic six bass player for a long time, until ear problems forced him to stop. But he remained a true friend of the pan. He still plays the iron ad hoc when needed and can bee seen as diligent photographer on many pan events.
New Board - new Auditor
New Board
we are pleased to announce that Yvonne Zürcher and Toni Zwahlen have been elected in unison to the Board of PANCH. Yvonne will take over the treasury department. Both have been introduced in a recent PANCH info magazine and we are looking forward to a good and inspiring cooperation within the Board. We also would like to thank the former Board members that they will continue their work for PANCH: Reto will continue to take care of the pilot project at the cantonal music school in Zug (steelpan workshops at the cantonal music school) and Pit will keep up his valuable work as an editor of the PANCH info magazine, as well as the e-mailing member service. Mails to all PANCH members can therefore still be sent to
