The accommodation specialists rooms4groups is putting out an early reminder to bands at the forthcoming series of Regional Championship events to make sure they are already planning for potential National Final trips to Cheltenham or London later this year — starting at Blackpool this weekend.

Best wishes and no headaches

Michelle Silver, PR & Marketing Manager told 4BR: "We wish every band the very best as they prepare for their Regional Championship events.

There will be celebrations and disappointments of course, but for those who do get the result they are working so hard to achieve, we hope it will also see them get in touch with us to quickly stop them getting another headache in booking their National Finals hotel accommodation!

We will be here first thing on Monday morning."
