Re-Organisation Statement
The area committee has released the following statement…
“Following the Midland Regional Committee Meeting on Saturday 24th March, it was agreed that a proposal to allow Regional Committees the ability to promote additional Bands to even out the numbers in sections, be presented to the next Forum Meeting”
For information, this is a request that has been put several times before (probably from other Regions as well!) but its something our Bands are asking for.
