March contest: 1. Prince's End, 2. Bristol, 3. Drybrook
The march contest was one of sight reading - the bands not having seen the piece before - "Chepstow Castle" was specially written by Ord Hume for the contest. Non-playing bands were kept as far away on the grounds as possible so not to be able to hear their competitors.
4 bands competed
