Final preparations are now being made for the annual Foden's Solo Competition, which is to be held at Sandbach School on the 29th October.

Now regarded as the biggest and most prestigious event of its kind in the UK, it offers numerous awards and prizes, with news that Prof John Wallace CBE and a Vice-President of Foden's, Brian Kingsley and Besson artist Dewi Griffiths will adjudicate the various sections.

Closing date

Players from all corners of the globe compete at the event, with applicants reminded that the closing date for all entries is the 18th September.
