Welsh Area Championship

Due to a dispute with the National organiser, in 1980 the Welsh area was run unofficially, without accreditation to the national contest. The 1979 Welsh section winners were invited to the 1980 finals.
An account of events and the dispute is given at http://www.4barsrest.com/articles/2010/1102.asp?l=in#.Wh3ZQVVl-Uk.

This contest group contains only the unaffiliated contest that was run in that year; affiliated Welsh area contests can be found listed as <a href="https://brassbandresults.co.uk/contests/WELSH-AREA/">Welsh Area</a>.
