Good luck to all the bands in the West of England this weekend, it's going to be strange not being there this year (mutter mutter too many contests on the same day mutter mutter), I'm going to be in the slightly less glamourous location of Swansea.

Dam, Im sitting here shivering away with a stinker of a cold(i hate the shivers). Just what i need with 3 days to go! Looks like its getting worse too with my throat puffing up. oh well, will just have to go and struggle through. Lots of fruit for me.
The band is playing well. And this year our soprano playing purcussionist is just playing sop.
Good luck to all the bands. Hopefully I will make it.......

Just found out that our hotel has been closed down due to the NOra virus, yes, it's hit Torquay!!
Let's hope we can fend that off and that our new hotel in Babbacombe is ok!!
Brings a whole new meaning to sh**ting yourself!

Really looking forward to Torquay now, we're all travelling up in cars on friday which means no ridiculously early ferry time!

Cheers GingerMaestro,
We'll do our best to get there - hopefully Peter Roberts and Rob Wiffin will agree on my reading of it and the band will play well enough. Lots of unkowns this year though, two down from the third section and a new band again... it will be a very interesting day.
