At the forthcoming Open Music Weekend (10-11 September) there will be an opportunity on the Saturday evening to discuss the annual band competition.  Martyn Bedder will do a presentation about the band competition and then there will be time to discuss how to move the competition into the future.  This will be open to people attending the open weekend, and also any band masters that wish to attend.  I know a lot of you will be in attendance anyway, but if you are not coming and would like to put an idea or question forward, please email Natalie Squires on natalieaa@hotmail.com.

If you haven't yet signed any young members up for the open music weekend but have members that are interested you need to let NHQ know ASAP!!  It would be great to have good attendance.  This weekend also coincides with the Young Leaders training weekend.
