RESULTS: Yorkshire Regional Championships 2019

The qualifiers set to represent Yorkshire at the National Championships of Great Britain were chosen this weekend after a fantastic weekend of playing at all levels. A special mention must go to the retiring Yorkshire Regional Secretary, Peggy Tomlinson, who after years of dedication to her Yorkshire bands, has announced her retirement. Always a reassuring face at contests, she will be missed by countless bandsmen and women.
