Well... this is a new one on us! @RoyalMail enclosed the letter below with a band's paperwork - please read & have a good chuckle... ✉️

There's actually been a delay in registering a new player due to this unfortunate situation. Gives new meaning to the term "Snail Mail"... 🐌

@RoyalMail postage costs have gone up, effective today (23 March). Please click here to read more:

Due to #COVIDー19 we’re changing how we work. From today we'll be picking up mail & working from the office once a week.

Get your band’s cards in for validation whilst it’s quiet (plus sort cancellations, name changes, new photos & stamp inserts at the same time)!

We would like to officially welcome #NorthopBrass to the @BBPRegistry, who are the youth band of the @BandNorthop organisation

We issued BBP card 31000 today. This means that we've processed a grand total of 1,000 New Player Registration applications in 2019 so far...! (That's before any transfers, cancellations, or any of the other associated paperwork) #keepthemcoming #rollonMarch #nervousbreakdown

The @BBPRegistry, @BBWMagazine Subscriptions and @kapitol_promo offices are open as normal today ❄️ ⛄️

[Brass Band Players Ltd @BBPRegistry]

We are delighted to register the famous Archie Pannell this morning, who immediately becomes the youngest person registered on the @BBPRegistry database! #HadstockSilverBand

[Brass Band Players Ltd @BBPRegistry]

Due to unforeseen electrical issues, the @BBPRegistry and @kapitol_promo offices have to close this afternoon. @Butlins contest paperwork from today will be processed on Monday (and backdated to today). Apologies for any inconvenience caused, by circumstances beyond our control

[Brass Band Players Ltd @BBPRegistry]

The first #Christmas cards have arrived at the office. Drumroll please 🥁... Colin (@BnD_Band) and Ann (@YorkshireImps)! To bands who have not yet sent us Christmas cards, you’d better get a move on... #giftvoucherswelcome #beertokenswelcome #wecanbebought @Foxyflug @timmy_1988

We would like to officially welcome #GreatWesternYouth Band, the youth band of @brunelbrass to the @BBPRegistry

[Brass Band Players Ltd @BBPRegistry]

This morning we've received two passport photos in the below envelope, but that's it. No band name, no player name, no Secretary name... nothing! The only thing we can deduce is that it MAY be from a North West band. If you recognise this handwriting, get in touch! #bbpdetectives

#regs2018 We are working through the backlog this morning from last week's weather. Please give us a few hours to sift through and process the paperwork for #Midlands and #WestofEngland regions as fast as possible. We would greatly appreciate our phoneline being quiet!!

Weather update. At the moment, our office is open as normal tomorrow (09:30-15:30), but heavy snow is forecast so we may have to play it by ear.

If we need to close the office on Friday, we will communicate further regarding the #Midlands and #WestofEngland Regionals deadlines
