Malton Brass 2010

Unfortunately owing to a shortage of entries this year’s “Malton Brass” contest, due to take place in November, has had to be cancelled. We hope for a successful contest in 2011.

Elland get Queen's Award

This  recognises outstanding contributions made to local communities by groups voluntarily devoting their time for the benefit of others and sets the national benchmark for excellence in volunteering, with the work of those awarded being judged of the highest standard.

Elland has received the award for its work over many years by its team of volunteers who provide expert musical tuition to people of all ages and backgrounds, for performing brass band music to the local and wider community, supporting local and national charities and for continuing the heritage of brass bands.
