What's everyone's opinion on this ?

If I remember correctly, Black Dyke got 240 000 GBP sponsorship
from bradford and Bingley's over three years.

The story I've heard is that Tredgar Band are putting their hands in   
their
own pockets to go.

I guess that means they want to represent their country and the Dyke
players don't ?

We don't get many chances to represent our country in any form - so
I find it amazing that Dyke think they should refuse ?
Do you think they are letting us all down ? Unless there is something   
else
behind it all..........

Is there anyone else who wouldn't be prepared to pay some money towards
such a trip themselves ? I guess we all might refuse if we were just paid
professionals, but we are all band fans/fanatics/hobbyists aren't we ?

Thanks - look forward to your replies !

Hello Again All,

 I noticed the message about Black Dyke and the Europeans. I have heard   
that
the
reason they are not going to compete in Bergen is because they " Can't   
afford
it!".
Apparently it will cost around 8000 to get the band there and everything   
and
with
the prize money only being 2000 it means it is not worth their while   
going to
compete!!!

 It now means there is only Williams Fairey's and Yorkshire Building   
Society
representing England!!!!!!!!!! GO FOR IT FAIREY'S!!!!!!!!

 Oh well, hope that answered your quiries!!!!

Take Care all.........
