Transfer the yorkshire area

Paddo - Yes i think it would make sense - and as per the initial thought behind the proposal put to the Yorkshire committee (on the thread subject), both places you mention would appear to offer improved facilities able to cope with the numbers of people and bands which could potentially be involved.

But the whole distribution of bands throughout the various regions is a whole other can of worms.......

I always understood the reason East and North Yorkshire were in the North of England was to ensure enough bands compete in that area - omitting those bands would seriously reduce the numbers competing in one area and increase anothers.

Yes but Paddo's earlier suggestion was to have 2 regions in the north of England (instead of the current 3).

Combining 3 areas committees into 2 - a North East and a North West and amalgamate Yorkshire into the other two? Now that sounds an interesting proposal though I suspect it might be consider heresy in certain quarters -

Yes - i can imagine the reactions of some. But really most of us just want to play our best and enjoy the whole day.

amalgamating some of yorkshire in to the north west would IMHO make it worse, there are already some the best bands in that area. If you did that it would have to be a clear cut strieght down the middle of the land which on my calculations would mean dyke, brighouse, hepworth, Marsden all in the north West area and the rest in the north east.

ooohohhhhhhhhhh
