The SWBBA Annual Championships took place on Saturday 2nd November 2024 at The Riviera Centre, Torquay with 23 bands taking part over 6 sections.
Adjudicator for the day was Steve Pritchard-Jones who commented that ‘the day just flew by!’
As well as presenting trophies to the winners, SWBBA were delighted to present our much-loved and respected Chairman, Ray Kingdon, with a certificate to mark his incredible seventy year membership of South Molton Town Band. Ray is not only a true stalwart of the band (and SWBBA), he is prolific figure in his home town of South Molton where he and his wife Gwen are involved with all kinds of charity work. Congratulations Ray - what an achievement! Pictured presenting the certificate to Ray is SWBBA president Leonard Adams.

The damp and dismal weather at the start to the day did not detract from the very successful return of SWBBA’s Annual Championships after a two-year absence.
We were very pleased to welcome twenty-two bands, who competed across five sections, at the Riviera International Conference Centre in Torquay. The venue will also host the West of England Regional Championships in March 2023.
SWBBA Chairman Ray Kingdon said ‘After the committee’s extremely hard work in getting the contest off the ground again after the two-year gap, we were delighted at the outcome and thank all the bands who entered. We also extend our congratulations to bands and individuals who went home with trophies! We had a very entertaining day and listened to some cracking performances.’
Our grateful thanks go to the adjudicators, Nicholas Garman, Paul Norley and trainee adjudicator Stephanie Binns, to the staff at the Riviera Centre and of course to our stalwart team of stewards who worked tirelessly throughout the day.
We hope to see you all again next year.

SWBBA held their 73rd Annual Championships at Rivera Centre Torquay - an ideal opportunity for bands to test out the stage acoustics and other facilities in advance of the 2020 Regionals. Highlights of the day were the Youth and training band sections that evidence the active educational work being carried out in parts of the South West.
Despite atrocious weather conditions, including bridge closures from Cornwall, Vice Chairman John Woods commended all bands for helping keep the day to schedule. Thanks were also extended by John on behalf of the Association to Sue Oldfield, Contest controller, for the festival and Keith Anderson who recently joined the team and undertook all planning with the Riviera Centre and competing bands.
Keith ensured rugby fans were kept up to date with 2 large TV screens installed in the Rosetor room so that events in Japan were not missed!
Feedback from bands on the section of set test pieces was very positive. Adjudicators Chris Binns and Derek Greenwood enjoyed:
