The Midlands committee would like to thank Roger Poulter for all his hard work on behalf of our Area over the last six years, following his decision to stand down as our trophy officer due to his increasing business commitments.

Our new trophy officer is Robert Stansfield and Area trophies should now be returned to 29 Neale Street, Long Eaton, Nottingham NG10 1FF. Robert may be contacted at dr.robert.stansfield@outlook.com or on 07722 118127.

We have added another rehearsal facility to the list.

Coach parking is on Bayton Road Industrial Estate, Colliery Lane, Exhall, Coventry, West Midlands CV7 9NW.

There are no restrictions and there is room for plenty of coaches: it is a 3 minute drive from The Civic Hall.

Coaches may only drop off at the back of the Civic Hall (there is room for 4 coaches to drop off at the same time) and then return to collect when the Band has finished playing.

ON NO ACCOUNT SHOULD COACHES REMAIN PARKED AT THE BACK OF THE CIVIC HALL – PLEASE MAKE SURE YOUR COACH COMPANIES/DRIVERS ARE AWARE OF THIS. Thank you.

We have added two additional rehearsal facilities to the list.

Our “Information For Bands” page has been updated with details of the BOPA requirements, tickets, wrist bands and rehearsal facilities.

Please note that an area of the hall has been reserved for players with wrist bands. In the unlikely event that this area gets full, your wristband does not give you automatic access to the rest of the hall as the seats are numbered, unless you buy a ticket to guarantee a seat. The Civic Hall management however will allow the exit doors to be opened for the results, as long as fire exits are kept clear.
