Dear Bands
We were delighted that you chose to come along to the first ever Diggle Band Contest. We had 51 bands during the evening, including some of the very best bands in the country. We were unfortunately unable to do anything about the weather, but we were really impressed with your resilience on a night that provided some of the worst Saddleworth Whit Friday weather in a very long time. We had worried about how hard it would be for you marching around in the incredible heat we have had recently, but had not wished for quite such a downpour!

Please find all results for the contest below. We will send a scanned version of your adjudicator's remarks by separate e-mail, but if you wish for the original to be posted, please reply to this mail and request it (we are trying to save postage!).

Once again, thank you for coming and helping to make our contest such a success. If you have any comments or suggestions for improving our contest next year, we would be very pleased to hear from you.

Kind Regards
The Diggle Band Contest Committee
