The Fleetwood Open still has places up for grabs - as long as you get your entry in.
The organisers of the Fleetwood Open Brass Band Championship have announced that the closing date for entries for the popular event is fast approaching.
Time and date
Sponsored by R. Banks & Son (Funerals Ltd) and organised by Lancashire Contests, the contest will take place at the Marine Hall in Fleetwood on Sunday, 29th September.
There are still places available in each of the sections (Championship/First; Second, Third, Fourth and Youth), where nationally graded bands will be able to perform their own choice selection to try and catch the ears of adjudicators Mike Kilroy and Paul Andrews.

For the purposes of the contest, the Contest Controller will agree directly with each band the legitimacy, within the contest rules, of all individual participants entered onto the player information sheet.
