The Yorkshire Regional committee has announced the list of adjudicators who will sit in judgement at the Area Championship in Bradford in 2016.

Experience

The experienced compositional duo of Philip Sparke and Michael Ball will be the men to impress in the top section.

Both have judged at the National Finals in London, and whilst Philip has been in the box at St Georges' Hall (above) previously, it will be the first time for Michael.

Howard Evans, John Doyle, Robert Childs, Michael Dodd, David Horsfield and John Winterflood will take on the all important roles in the other sections on the weekend of the 5th/6th March.

Welcome

Yorkshire Regional Secretary Peggy Tomlinson told 4BR: "It will be a privilege to welcome all the adjudicators, some of whom will be adjudicating in Yorkshire for the first time.

They bring a wealth of knowledge and experience with them and I'm sure we can all look forward to another excellent weekend of contesting."

Tickets

The event will take place at St. George's Hall, Bradford on the weekend of 5th/6th March with the Third, Fourth and Second Sections, in that order, on the Saturday, with the First and Championship Sections on the Sunday.
