BABS Convention 2016
Wow! What a weekend! We had a fantastic time in Harrogate and we are please to say that we achieved a score of 82.6%, our best ever. Hopefully this will result in us receiving an invitation to compete at the 2017 International to be held in Las Vegas in July 2017.
The National contest was the best yet with Finest Hour taking the gold, Portobello Road, silver and The Locksmiths, the bronze. The chorus contest was won by Bolton’s Cottontown chorus with silver and bronze going to Grand Central chorus and Hallmark of Harmony respectively.
Our hearty congratulations to all the medal winners and indeed to everyone who took part in the contests.

Convention 2015 Update
Another fab convention over and we are pleased to announce that we achieved a score that will hopefully secure us an invitation to compete in Nashville in July 2016.
Our convention videos will be available on Youtube as soon as we have them.
In the face of stiff competition we managed to retain the title of the highest ranked quartet in the UK, but the gap is shrinking!
Many congratulations to all the quartet medallists, but especially the winners, Tagline; their semi-finals performance was just sublime.
Also congratulations to The Great Western Chorus of Bristol who took first place in the chorus contest with a very entertaining set.
Our new suits had their first public outing in the finals and, judging by the gasps in the audience, they were well received!
Preparations are now well under way for Pittsburgh and the world championships in 4 weeks time. Find us on Facebook to get regular updates on this and other events in the life of RECKLESS
