Co-op sponsor youth championships |
|
United Co-operatives and the British Federation of Brass Bands have announced a partnership that will secure the future of the National Youth Brass Band Championships of Great Britain. United Co-operatives has agreed to sponsor all sections of the event, initially over the next two years. In addition, United Co-operatives is keen to provide funds for a new award that will recognise a youth band that has best served its own community over the past year.
Michael Fairclough, Community Relations Manager at United Co-operatives said: “We are delighted to be in a position to develop our role in the community by ensuring the future of this major championship.”
One of the championship organisers, Arnold Tattersfield of the BFBB, is delighted and said: “The BFBB are looking forward to working with United Co-operatives and intend to create a close partnership to aid the future development of Youth Bands.”
The BFBB website, www.bfbb.co.uk has a link to United Co-operative’s website, further information about the National Youth Brass Band Championships of Great Britain and a wide variety of other brass band interests. |
