[madandcrazytromboneguy]

thats cool guys keep em comin

altho?!, there must be some errors here

HOW COME LINDLEY AINT WON OWT YET?!, LOL

i thought we played ok actually, did every1 enjoy themselves yesterday?

 

[SBB]

Yeh really enjoyed myself! We had a little detour, missed one turning and ended up in Huddersfield! oops!! Still managed to do 10, pretty good! Glad the weather stayed fine!

 

[Just Crazy]

we had a slight problem with our coach but got there i the end!

Manage to fit in 5 which is not too bad.

Did see the TMP band but was a bit bothered about my playing, so i didnt have chance to speak to anyone.

Hope you had a good night.I do wish i had played with you lot.

 

[madandcrazytromboneguy]

we did 8 in the end

could have pushed for 10 if we had set off a little earlier perhaps but i think we were glad to get them out of the way in the end

an enjoyable w.f. non the less and pretty good weather for most of it i think, certainly stayed dry everywhere we went

 

[Aidan]

we did 12, 6 in each, only a few dodgy ones, we'll see how it goes.

 

[baritone impresario]

Frickley did eight. How come all the so called big bands managed to do 12 or 13?
Something smells of Mackeral!?

 

[Aidan]

we asked the stewards how many bands were queueing at each place we passed... if it was 3 maybe 4 or less.. we did it. simple.

 

[nmcompaq]

talking about something fishy

Did anyone hear the rmour that DYKE requested (and were allowed) to go on first whereever they turned up?

 

[madsaz]

We did 13 contests and there were certainly no special favours.
We had a great route - we had done 7 contests by 6.30! WE then got trapped in the queue at Broadoak so waited about an hour then got motoring again.

Some of the tameside contests were very quiet & had it not been for Broadoak we could have done a hell of a lot more......

 

[youngman]

What about the fire Dukinfield ?
The barby gas bottle went up in flames as we were due to play !

They were telling us about that. We arrived just after it had happened.
I think they must have been trying to beat last years 'smokiest barbeque ever' award!!!

 

[yorkie19]

Ransomes did 11. Again, there were no special favours. It was plain sailing all the way round, apart from a small hold up at Upper Mossley and a slightly bigger hold up at the end of the night at Broadoak.

If the 4barsrest result for Delph is right (ie a record 75 bands out) then it's no wonder that bands struggled to get more done in Saddleworth.

 

[jambo]

Some Delph results r on 4bars rest

Fodens
Hepworth
Dyke
Marsden
YBS

is what they have so far.

 

[Darth_Tuba]

We managed 8. Really slow going. I doubt very much there was any dodgy behaviour going on... you just get luckier some years than others. Last year we sailed round, and if it hadn't been for a detour to Dob X (2 hours) We probably could have done at least 14. Just down to luck.
