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.

Haslingden & Helmshore is now up to an impressive 4th place and Oldham (Lees) making it into the top 10.

Next big money is up for grabs at the European Championships.
