Very last call for Butlins

If you are in any doubt about Butlins 2015 then you must call Brian Eggleshaw now — otherwise you will miss out.

Butlins
 

4BR has been informed that the closing date for entries for the 2015 Butlins Mineworkers Championship has officially passed.

Entry packs

However, contest controller Brian Eggleshaw has informed 4BR that he is still receiving enquiries from bands who believe they have not been sent official entry packs in the post.

Contact now

Brian has therefore requested that any band that wishes to enquire about a possible entry to the event should contact him as soon as possible.

"I am still getting calls to say some bands haven’t received anything, so if in doubt get in touch and I can sort something out. This is the last time we can do this, so if you are not sure in any way — contact me."
