New web site for Brass Bands England

New organisation sets itself up on the world wide internet.

 

The new Brass Bands England organisation has officially launched its website presence following its Annual General Meeting held in Birmingham last week.

Welcome

Robert Morgan MBE told 4BR: "Following the launch of our new organisation at the AGM of the British Federation of Brass Bands (BFBB) we would like to welcome everyone to view the new website.

In due course the BFBB will cease to exist and all its activities will transfer to Brass Bands England."

Vibrant future

He added: "I hope people will enjoy the website and are able to find particular items that are of interest to them or their band.

We intend Brass Bands England to have a bright and vibrant future and with everyone's help I'm sure that we can increase the interest and participation in our hobby that we are all so passionate about."
