Backworth Colliery Band News

Despite being tipped to be amongst the favourites, today the band came 7th and last in the 3rd section of the area contest in Darlington. Although the band had high hopes, a last place was small reward for the effort the band had put in to the challenging test piece. It is hoped that the band will avoid relegation to the 4th section, however the decision is pending review by the regional committee.

But the band move on. There are many challenges ahead for 2007, including competitions at Wansbeck, Whit Fridays, Easingwold and the DLI contest.
