Greater value

Speaking about the coverage, Dan Mears, Director at Next Step Films, said: "Following the fantastic feedback of our coverage of the 2024 ConsTest Championships we were keen to offer greater value to our customers.

Our commitment to grass roots banding will see the number of events increase in the coming months and I believe a subscription to our service will not only provide hours of enjoyment, but an investment into our ambition to grow and cover more of the events people want to enjoy."
