The North West Regional Championships will take place a week earlier in 2015, on Sunday 1st March.

Quirk

Traditionally, the Blackpool contest is held on the second Sunday in March, but a date quirk in the calendar meant that it would have clashed with the Yorkshire Regional Championships in Bradford.

The date change confirmed by North West Regional Secretary, Peter Bates now allows bands and spectators alike to enjoy the two events either side of the Pennines.
