There may have been lots of contest activity around the country of late, but there has not too much movement in the Money List – although lots of bands are now in the race…

Regionals

With the second batch of the regional contest out of the way there hasn’t been much movement in the Money List with Desford, Tredegar and PolySteel adding more dosh to their coffers.

First deposits

With just £200 for the winners, £100 for second place and £75 for third, there are plenty of new names in the list with Fodens, Cory and Whitburn, three big money winners year in year out putting their first deposits in the 2008 bank.

There are now close to 150 bands winning some money this year, with plenty more to come we are sure.
