Winter Contest 2026 – Update

Thank you to all the bands that have already entered the contest which is looking like being a record entry but as you will see below this has put us in an unusual situation.

We have now reached capacity for the sections on Sunday (Championship, second and fourth). Any further entries received for these sections will be put on a reserve list in case of any withdrawals . Alternatively, as at the moment we still have room for bands on Saturday, 4th or 2nd section bands can opt to play in the section above their own on Saturday if they wish to. Please accept our apologies for any disappointment this causes any bands.

If your band is either Unregistered, 1st or 3rd section and you intend to enter the contest can I suggest that you do so soon to ensure your place at the contest.
