4BR Money List

With the Regional Championships finally over there is now a huge field of 167 bands in the 4BR Money List race…

Money
 

With the last batch of the regional contest out of the way there hasn’t been much movement at the top of the Money List, although with the Tameside Contest offering a nice pot of money to successful bands there has some movement just below the top.
