Images Of Dobcross Whit Friday Contest
Brighouse and Rastrick in full flow.
Here are some of the pictures taken during the Whit Friday band contest in Dobcross, held on Church Fields in the centre of the village.
Fifty-seven bands, ranging from national champions Brighouse and Rastrick to groups in fancy dress, took part over six hours in front of an appreciative crowd. Despite the odd shower now and again, even the rain more or less held off.
There’ll be a lot more in the way of Whit Friday pictures, video and results from Saddleworth News over the weekend, so keep checking the website for all of that.
