New venue for DCUK British Drum Corps Championships
Drum Corps United Kingdom will move their Championships to another stadium this year. The DCUK Championships 2013 will be held in the Select Security Stadium in Widnes - Cheshire.
For the past few years Mansfield Town FC have provided DCUK the venue for the British Drum Corps Championships but this year they were promoted out of the Football Conference back into the main Football League and as a result need to carry out works to the ground which means they are unable to host our Championships event for 2013.
As a result, for the past few weeks DCUK haw been working on a replacement venue and have agreed a contract with a new venue and the 2013 British Drum Corps Championships will be held at Select Security Stadium in Widnes - Cheshire, the home to the Widnes Vikings Rugby League team and also Liverpool Ladies FC (and until recently was known as the Stobart Stadium but changed following a new sponsorship deal).
The big benefit of this venue is that two years ago they had the pitch replaced and installed with the latest generation of artificial grass pitch which is called i-pitch (intelligent pitch) and so is not subject to the normal concerns of bad weather.
The main stand is a single tier and seats approximately 3,500 (opposed to Mansfield which is a double tier and seats over 5,500) so is much better suited to DCUK's needs. There is plenty of free local parking for spectators within no more than a couple of minutes’ walk from the stadium.
The British drum corps season will start tomorrow in Bradford.
