With big payouts to be had at Pontins, there has been some extra movement in the 4BR money List as we head to the final contesting furlong of the season.
Favourites
With the big cash machine payouts to come at the Scottish Open and Brass in Concert, it would seem that Fairey (Geneva) look like the odds on favourites favourites to take the Money List title.
However, they can still be pipped at the post if results don’t go their way as Tredegar are still in the hunt — just.
Meanwhile, Pontins provided a great payday for Marsden Silver and Glyn Williams as they bagged the £3,000 top prize to push themselves up from 14th to 8th in the table.

Amazing Hazel Grove
However, it is the amazing 2010 form of Hazel Grove in the Fourth Section which has really caught the eye, after their win at Prestatyn has seen them rocket into an incredible 17th place, with £4,270 to their name.
Three other highly succesful lower section bands also make their mark after Pontins too.
Jackfield (Elcock Reisen) come in at 14th after their First Section win boosted their coffers by £2,500, whilst Uppermill continues to pick up rich contest pickings with a fourth Pontins success in a row to now be placed 16th.
The consistent Oldham Band (Lees) may have left North Wales, but after adding another £800 to the bank balance, now stand in 18th place.
18 over £2,500
In Australia, the FABB Contests saw Brisbane and Gunnadah Shire pick up just over £3,000 each, and they both now join a growing list of 18 bands that have won over £2,500 in prize money this season.
All eyes then on The Sage and Perth, with a raft of Euro Zone payouts too as the Euroepan Nationals season gets under way later this month in Switzerland and the US Open takes place over the big pond.
