Congratulations to the Bands by the Bay Challenge 2020 Champion's.......

THE BLACKNOISE ARMY!!!

A massive night of entertainment last night,
Midnight Express to Rome, Brit Beat Mania, & Altandi all put on a performance to be proud of!

I'd like to personally thank all of the bands who have been involved throughout the past nine weeks of the challenge, I couldn't have made this event possible without you.
A special thankyou also goes out to all of the sponsors, patron's, close friends, and my crew, for their support throughout this ride. And lastly, a massive thankyou goes out to management, and the board of the Bramble Bay Bowls and Sports Club. Thankyou for having the confidence in myself to be allowed to hold such a community, interactive event. I am truly humbled.
I've met a lot of great people along the way, and forged some new friendships, that I'm sure will be with me for many years to come. Which is always a bonus!

Thankyou everyone!

Bands By the Bay Challenge, coordinator
