[2nd trom virtuoso]

Looking forward to hearing the Championship Section this year having missed it last year. Also hearing good reports of Zone One, who many thought were unlucky to miss out last year. With Rob Wiffen and Paul Archibald at the helm of Redbridge and Zone One respectively, we should be in for an interesting day

You might not be far off there - Redbridge and ZOB 1st and 2nd?? or either way around!

Not sure how A & N are doing with their vacancy situations etc although they are still sure to put up a strong fight. Havn't heard much from them lately.

Will be an interesting 1st section too...

Wishing Friary Guildford the best of luck in the 1st section. Hope that they can continue their recent success on the contest stage....even without their lucky player!!!!!!

I don't think we can do without our lucky charm - you'll have to sneak up to the stage and sit with us

I will sit as close as possible then to the stage...although not too close to Rich otherwise will get the blame for putting him off...!!

I have heard on the grape vine that Robert Childs is no longer doing the adjudication for the champ section as he is going into hospital for an operation on the Friday before, does anyone know who is taking his place? My source didn't have that information to hand, he said it was someone with a surname beginning with H that used to play cornet for Dyke and Faireys, (Hudson? I can't think of anymore!!)

Only joking Rich, you can punch me at practice tonight...

Its David Horsfield thats doing the adjudicating for the 1st and champ section.

If my facts are right then he was playing principle for Brighouse when Eric Ball was conducting them.

Band secs should all have had notification of the change of adjudicator by post last week - so if yours hasn't told you yet, kick 'em!

I've been trawling through our old records to see if Mr H has ever adjudicted us before but don't think he has - does anyone have insight into his 'style'? Any major likes or dislikes?

He loves overblowing, no vib and bad intonation...

Rich got me to look that up....only one I can find is that he adjudicated Crawley 2003...got no results yet though...maybe you can check if you entered and how you did.

Don't think he's ever going to live that one down!

LOL, and don't forget the entries in the wrong place, splits, mutes being dropped and bad ensemble playing.

[WhatSharp?]

and his pet peeve is sticking to the marked tempos!

Well it's been nine years since I last played at Stevenange and the memory has diminished sufficiently for me to have my arm twisted to help out Uckfield on Bb this year. There will also be three other cornets helping out from Cranbrook who are experiencing Stevenage for the first time. I'm trying to thing of something good about it to tell them about.

Access to the A1 to leave Stevenage by is quite easy from the Leisure Centre.
