Welsh Area
Qualifying contest for <a href="http://brassbandresults.co.uk/contests/GREAT-BRITAIN-NATIONAL-FINALS/">National Championship of Great Britain</a>, instituted 1945.
In 1980 a dispute with the National organiser led to the official Welsh area contest not being held. An unaffiliated contest was held in its place by the Welsh committee, which can be found under <a href="https://brassbandresults.co.uk/contests/WELSH-AREA-CHAMPIONSHIP/">Welsh Area Championship</a>. The 1980 Welsh invitees to the national finals were taken from the 1979 contest. An account of events and the dispute is given at http://www.4barsrest.com/articles/2010/1102.asp?l=in#.Wh3ZQVVl-Uk.
