The hard work has been done in the bandroom over the last few weeks on Kenneth Hesketh’s Alchymist’s Journal and the coach is booked for Saturday lunchtime to transport the band and supporters to Cheltenham Racecourse to compete in the National Championships 1st Section Final representing the North West of England.

The band will be playing after 4pm in the Centaur Arena on Sunday depending on the draw out of a field of 17 bands.
