Congratulations to The Banter who put up a great fight and did Whitby proud yesterday at The Battle of the Sands.

Sadly they were pipped to the prize and finished just outside the top 3, but the judges were very impressed and I for one am sure that they will continue on to great things. Nice one lads... x
