Whit Friday
  The event is hoping to attract 20 competing bands

4BR has been informed that there has been a great response from bands wishing to enter the new 'Autumn Leaves Brass Band Contest' which is being organised by the Greenfield Whit Friday Brass Band Contest Committee on Ladhill Playing Fields in the village on Sunday 5th September (1.00pm to 6.00pm)

A spokesperson told 4BR: "Bands of all sections and levels are invited to join us on our elevated stage in front of a large and appreciative audience.

The five major prizes range from £200 to £500 including a £200 first prize for non-section/social bands, youth and youth training bands. All bands not winning a main prize will receive a £150 runners-up award."
