Contest was outdoors and to quote Brass Bnad News September 1925 "But a tempest swamped the playing of Stubbins Vale so that the judge could not hear them. The other bands were sporty enough to let the band play again, and the result was fifth prize."
Prizes - 1st £9, 2nd £5, 3rd £3.
Best cornet - Fred Taylor - Chadderton.
15 bands competed.
