LMB Joint Welsh League Title Holders for 2009 (November 21, 2009)
With a first prize in the 2nd section of the South East Wales Brass Band Association contest held in Blaenavon on Saturday 21st November, Lewis Merthyr became joint Welsh League Title holders for 2009 - this being the last of the qualifying competitions for the year and the second time the Band had come out on top.  This shows the steady progress made under the guidance of Musical Director, Gareth Pritchard, over the last two years and heralds a return to the Band's former glory days of the 1980s.  Gareth Pritchard, commenting on the Band's success, said that he was proud of the good progress and success, achieved despite the vagaries of inconsistent adjudication experienced during the year, and he urged the Band to keep its feet firmly on the ground.  This last victory was achieved despite only having 10 days rehearsal time available due to other engagements and the absence of the conductor on a very well earned family holiday.
