1930 :

An amazingly busy year where the month of July for instance shows:-

12th : Contest at Fairford Gloucestershire
13th : Contest at West Ham Park London
14th : First Broadcast (Savoy Hill London)
19th : Contest at Bridlington
20th : Concert at Barnsley
22nd/23rd : Roundhay Flower Show
27th : Pudsey Park

August and September show similar engagements including two days at Burnopfield Show and two days at Tow Law Show (both in Durham and probably connected with the presence in the Band of several Durham miners who had migrated to Rothwell some years earlier).

The accounts also show income from a supporters club and from ladies efforts.

Prizes were won at the popular Whit Friday Contests playing "Raby" which had been a favourite contest march in previous years.

Although they attended Crystal Palace and Belle Vue without result many prizes were won nearer home including medals for cornet, soprano, flugel and horn soloists.

1930 closed with a broadcast from Leeds on Boxing Day, fee £15 15s.
