2003 Spring Brass Band Festival

Grand Shield Records


4BR has tried to put together as much information as possible about the records for the Grand Shield, Senior Cup and Trophy, but there are gaps.

We would like to be able to go back right to the beginning but the information is so hard to find. If anyone can help us we would be grateful. Have a look at what we have done and see how you can help us. It would be a great pity if this bit of history is lost.
