The organisers of the 95th British Open Spring Festival, which will take place at Blackpool’s Winter Gardens on Saturday 9th May, have confirmed the full list of competing bands.
Segment
As part of the contest’s long term objectives, the established procedure to publish the split drew segments is also announced.
Competing bands are also reminded to ensure that all players are registered with the British Open Online Registry, complete with photograph.
As registration forms and photographic ID are no longer required, each player will be requested to report to the registration desk, where the officials will check their details with the British Open Online Registry.
Make sure
Bands are therefore asked to ensure all their player details are submitted with an appropriate image to Registry Administrator, Colin Johnson.
