Pretty much ideal for us! I do feel bad for those bands that have to travel a long way, but as Ian said, someone's always going to have to... unless of course we split the region up again... but that's a whole other debate...

Bedworth civic hall would be a great venue superb acoustics ive played there many times and the facilities are excellent too, also NICO is a good venue (I went there to school) and only five mins walk from the civic hall too!!

Bed'th would certainly get my vote.......

just a quick question - how many go down from championship section? 2 or 3?

Last time there was 13 bands in the top section with 2 bands tied on points, they sent 3 down to maintain 12 in the top section.

[Hornted]

That has happened in the past but not this year it would seem. 2 go down resulting in 13 in the section.

You must be mistaken. Once a precident like this has been set, surely it would be unfair to all concerned to change it ?

I think the ruling is based on the top (or bottom in this case) scores, which can mean three going down if two are tied on the same mark.

I dont think the situation is the same this time, The 3 bands at the bottom of the table are all on different points I believe. Its a Midlands directive that there should be 12 Bands in the Championship section. The last time 3 Bands were relegated 2 of the 3 bands were tied on points.

That's right - they tend to wait until there are two tied bands before relegating 3 together. There doesn't HAVE to be 12 bands in the Area - its a recommendation - some areas have LESS than 12, some have more....

[honey bun]

I know that there is only 2 bands going down and 2 bands coming up so thats 13 still in the section. (Just looking back this has already been said - doh!!)
