It’s great to receive such positive feedback about our service, especially at this crazy time of year 🤯

The first big deadline is this Friday: North West bands (National Brass Band Championships of Great Britain), you’ve got four days left… 👀

If you’re a band Secretary and have any queries (or if you’re panicking as you’ve forgotten to register a player), please get in touch with the BBP team:

🚨 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
📧 [email protected]

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!!

Our first Christmas card!

Colin (Blackburn & Darwen Band), you’re now top of the good list!! 🎅🏻

We are unfortunately no longer able to accept cheques as a form of payment (as stated on the BBP Fee Schedule 2023).

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

Please speak to a member of our team with any queries:

The Brass Band Players Ltd office has had to close from Weds 15 Feb (15:00), due to unforeseen circumstances.

The office will be back open on Fri 17 Feb (09:30), when all queries will be dealt with ASAP - especially relating to last-minute Regional Championships (National Brass Band Championships of Great Britain) registrations for Midlands & North West bands.

Thank you for your understanding.

The office will remain closed on Monday 19 for the state funeral of Queen Elizabeth II, and will re-open on Tuesday 20.

Paperwork & emails received during this time will be actioned on our return.

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 ✉️
