Tiger Trumpet winner:

Tracey Brearley of Huddersfield was the lucky winner of the Tiger Trumpet competition after another huge response to pick the winner (Brighouse & Rastrick) of the top section contest at Yorkshire Regional Championships.

She finally got her hands on the instrument after she had come out of hospital following an operation, and immediately gave it to her grandson Mark who has just started to have lessons in his local school.
