On Friday 9th June, the band left The Plough at Endon at 1pm on the ‘Yellow Bus’ and headed north to Tameside to take part in the annual Whit Friday Band Contests. The weather stayed dry for once and the sun even put in an appearance from time to time. During the evening the band managed to do all 12 contests in Tameside and enjoyed success in winning the Senior Deportment Prize at Heyrod.
