The Grand Shield took place on Saturday at Bolton and the results 
follow. There were a lot of GOOD performances, and a lot of bands 
would have been disapointed. The adjudicators spent some time in the 
box after the contest had finished, no doubt delibarating over who to 
put where ( they were Roy Newsome and John Berryman ). At first, they 
declined to give out any remarks on the satge, as they said their 
remarks were detailed enough individual comments madeon the remark 
sheets, but in the end Roy Newsome got up and spoke.
  As I listen to the bans, the main problem which let a lot of very 
good bands down, were the cadenza's especially the Horn. I can only 
think of 2 or three bands that managed to play the cadenzas without 
any mistakes !

The Results are :

Test Piece - Variations on a ninth ( Gilbert Vinter )

1st - Wingates			   ( Nick Childs )	    - 194 pts
2nd - Polypipe ( Rossington)  ( Brian Hurdly )	   - 193 pts
3rd - Rhodian Brass	 ( Graham O'Connor )	   - 192 pts
4th - British Fuels ( Parc & Dare ) ( Jeremy Wise )     - 191 pts
5th - B.T.M			      ( Steve Sykes )	    - 190 pts
6th - Staylebridge		     ( John Hudson )	   - 189 pts

It was a well deserved win by WIngates, as I thought there 
performance had something which the other performances didn't have. 
Their's was exciting to listen to, and the others seemed a bit ' dull 
' when compared. 
The top two bands get to compete at the Open in September, which are 
Wingates and Polypipe.
