Kidsgrove Scouts competed in 'A' Class competition, and won the first three shows of the season. The corps eventually made 'A' Class finals that year and placed 5th. Alongside this, the corps still competed in the championship class on the BYBA circuit and were very successful throughout the year, being promoted to Premier Class at the end of the year.

The corps competed at Wembley in the BYBC for the second time where Robert Swindells again won the championship Field Commander trophy.
