In October 2019 Foden's were crowned the National Champions of Great Britain at the Royal Albert Hall, London. As a result of winning this contest Foden's subsequently received an invitation to represent England at the European Brass Band Championships to be held in Lithuania, May 2020. The cost to attend the contest over a 4 day period is in the region of £20,000
Since February Foden's have arranged a number of fundraising events one of which was a grand raffle. The Raffle has raised £4600 towards the trip and the winning tickets were drawn at a concert on the 13th July.
Foden's would like to thank the numerous companies and individuals who have donated prizes as well as everyone who has supported the raffle by purchasing tickets.
