Welsh League contest rescheduled to November

There is a new date for the SEWBBA Tonyrefail contest.

SEWBBA
  The contest will be rescheduled to November

4BR has been informed that the proposed South East Wales Brass Band Association (SEWBBA) Welsh League contest that was to have taken place on Saturday 18th May in Tonyrefail has been rescheduled to Saturday 23rd November.

Unfortunately a lack of entries made the event unviable on the initial date, but it is hoped that the new date will enable more bands from both Wales and England to attend.

The organisers have apologised for the inconvenience caused and can be contacted to ensure that entries can be refunded or held for entry to the new date.
