🚨 Attention Band Secretaries! 🚨

As the Regional Championships 2025 (National Brass Band Championships of Great Britain) draws closer, our office workload is increasing daily!

While we’re still aiming to complete all transactions within 24 hours of receiving them, we’ve noticed a few things that are slowing down the player registration process.

Please take a moment to double-check the following before submitting applications:

✅ PLAYER LIST
Make sure to factor in the number of players on your List after adding any new players (the maximum allowed is 40).

✅ ACCOUNT BALANCE
If your Invoice balance is at £50.00 or more, we can’t process further transactions until your invoice is fully paid...

✅ COMPLETED FORMS
Please check that all fields (especially players’ dates of birth and Secretary signatures) are filled out correctly. These are the most common omissions!

Any incomplete transactions will go to the bottom of our "Pending File" and may take longer than expected to process. Given the high volume of transactions right now, the "Pending File" isn’t prioritised.

If you have any questions about the Registry processes, don’t hesitate to get in touch with the BBP team!

📞 02920 700943 (Option 2) | Mon-Fri 09:30-15:30

All required forms can be downloaded from the BBP Documentation tab on our website.

Thanks in advance!

Brass Band Players Ltd CLARIFIES RULES

The BBP Registry is delighted that the Spring Festival (part of the British Open) is now using the BBP registration service for their events, which now brings all major English & Welsh contests under the BBP banner.

However, in recent days BBP has been contacted by several individuals and bands who wish to clarify some of the Registry Rules – specifically in relation to the quantity of moves allowed in a 12-month period, the duration before which a player can return to their previous band, and even clarification on the exact definition of a “move”.

Therefore, Tim Jones (Registrar) and Helen Williams (Deputy Registrar) have put together the following few bullet points to assist Secretaries and players.

The last few weeks have been chaotic in our office (to say the least) 🥵

Receiving gifts such as this though - thanking us for our hard work - make it all worthwhile 🍫 🤩

Thank you very much Rachel from Hangleton Brass Band!!

Bands can still pay for Registry transactions via bank transfer or cash.

Due to the cancelled Royal Mail strike today, we have been able to pick up & process today’s post: including some last-minute registrations for next weekend’s Sections 1-4 Finals of the National Brass Band Championships of Great Britain 🏆

Today’s post was rather poignant, however, as Queen Elizabeth II’s head adorned every envelope ✉️

18/02/2022

Due to Storm Eunice, Royal Mail Office in Penarth is closed today. Therefore, we are unable to pick up any postal transactions sent to our PO Box address.

Anything that has arrived today for the / Regional Championships will be processed on Monday, and backdated to today’s date.

⛈ ☔️ A “rare" red weather warning has been issued for parts of South Wales as Storm Eunice approaches.

Therefore, our office may be operating at a reduced rate tomorrow.

📅 We are acutely aware of the Midlands & North West Regional Championship (National Brass Band Championships of Great Britain) deadline days for New Player Registrations are tomorrow. Any bands with queries / issues will be responded to as soon as possible

16/02/2022

It’s full steam ahead this morning at the BBP office, as bands continue to sign players in earnest for their upcoming Regional Championships.

We’re a bit manic today… however, everything’s fine: Deputy Registrar Helen Williams has brought in flapjacks to keep us going 😋

Well... this is a new one on us! Royal Mail enclosed the letter below with a band's paperwork - please read & have a good chuckle... ✉️

There's actually been a delay in registering a new player due to this unfortunate situation. Gives new meaning to the term "Snail Mail"... 🐌
