Hi all,
     The organiser of the British Open, Margaret Mortimer, announced 
yesterday that Manchester's Bridgewater Hall is unsuitable for a brass band 
contest after some problems last year and would not be used again.  She also 
announced that as of September 6th this year, the new home for the British Open 
will be Birmingham's Symphony Hall.

Apparently, it is with reluctance that she made the decision to move from 
Manchester, the Open's home since it started 145 years ago, but realises that 
the world's premiere contest needs a premiere venue, and hopes that the Open has 
found a new home for many years to come.

The full story can be found on Brass Band World's homepages on

Best wishes,
