WELCOME TO THE BMF
CORONAVIRUS ANNOUNCEMENT
CANCELLATION OF 2020 FESTIVAL
Sadly due to the continuing effects of the Coronavirus pandemic the 2020 Festival has been cancelled. All those entering to date will receive a full refund.
The 2021 Festival is scheduled for 16 & 17 October 2021.
We plan to keep the same adjudicators and syllabus as in 2020.
Hopefully things will be back to normal before then and I look forward to seeing you next year.
Do watch out for the opening of entries for the 2021 Festival in early March if government guidelines are sufficiently relaxed by then.
In the meantime I hope that you are all keeping safe and well.
