Report & Results: 2015 Truro contest

There was a great day of contesting to enjoy at the 60th anniversary Cornwall BBA Championship in Truro led by St Keverne

Lanner and District
 

The Cornwall Brass Band Association held its 60th anniversary Diamond Jubilee Championships at the Hall for Cornwall in Truro on the weekend.

There was a fine selection of music from Junior and Training bands through to Championship Section, with adjudicator John Berryman certainly enjoying himself.

Long Service Award

A Long Service Award was also made to Fred Angove of Bodmin Band in recognition of over 70 years dedication to banding in Cornwall. A second award was presented to John Berryman in recognition of his lifelong dedication to banding — which started at the Championship in 1955.
