Something for everyone

They also made sure local brass band supporters were able to get a glimpse of some of the silverware Carlton Main has already grabbed this year.

Pride of place

The Yorkshire Regional Trophy took pride of place next to the award won as the highest placed colliery band at the Butlins Mineworkers Championship – and named after Stan’s father William Lippeatt.
