Succesful year

Rachel Potter told 4BR: "Bath Spa Band have had a very successful year to date. In March, they came 2nd in the West of England Championships 3rd section at Torquay, earning them a place in the National Championship Finals in Harrogate in September."

They came a deserved 9th out of the 19 bands and really enjoyed their first finals appearance for many years.
