In agreement to any changes made as a lot of thought and effort gone into this. Good turnout for indoor competitions also appreciation to the Gordon school in Huntly for allowing us to use the school. Outdoor contest – Good gate which helps the promoters, although they would like a bigger entry of bands in grade 1 and 2. Aberdeen Games had issues allowing bands early entry into the field, due to stewards not being properly briefed. Written agreement from Aden Park Contest to use the Champion of Champions trophies at Aberdeen Games. Unfortunately we had atrocious weather at the end of the day. Education- Summer school sponsorship from branch offered out to bands 3 from Newtonhill went to Glasgow for the summer school. SCQF/PDQB classes have been run over 2 full weekends and final exam in December. Over 60 pipers and drummers of all ages have attended these classes, with the bulk of the cost being funded from HQ Education Budget. Modest charge of £35 has been made for both weekends and used to cover the costs of accommodation and catering. Publicity – Facebook page is being well used and Thank you to Kerry Meehan for continuing to compile stories for the Magazine and to Julie Brinklow looking after the website. PVG – After discussions this will be coordinated with HQ and Pat Wheelan draft document has been prepared but unsure when this will be published.

Proposed – DB Fraserburgh RBL Seconded JB Portlethen and District 6 – Music Board Report as per order paper: At present no music board convenor. Higher to lower transfer period is now 42 days. Questionnaire to go out to bands regarding a new Grade 5 playing 3/4s or 4/4s sit under the current Grade 4B Discussion of change 4A/4B contest rule to change which would mean Grade 4A cannot play down to the 4B march contest at minor contests. Bands would then only play up one grade 4B to 4A and 4A to 3 etc. This was passed for our minor competitions. Discussions about a 2 day final for Grade 1 at the worlds. All bands would play on the Friday as they currently do but no bands would be eliminated. All bands would then play their remaining sets on the Saturday for a full Grade 1 final based on the 2 days results on all 4 performances. The proposal will go forward to APMB – our Grade 1 band would be in favour of this. Heather asked if the regrading structure had been looked at in Grade 1 but Julie had no further feedback on this. Discussion of increasing number of adjudicators at Majors. Doubling the number of judges in each discipline. A Skinner asked if they had enough judges to do this and it was suggested that it was the Adjudicators panel that had proposed this so they must have enough. No further information is available about this. Discussed there is a new Judging format for the World Solo Drumming. There is a link on the RSPBA website regarding PVG. There was a proposal made that Grade heats should start at the same time. Proposed – MS Buchan Peterson Seconded – PC Elgin and District 7 – Directors Report as per order paper: Good attendance in all our local competitions, solos, quartets, full band indoor, Banchory and Aberdeen games. Only 50% of our branch bands are active at competition level what can be done to encourage more to be involved. Our competing bands attend all the Majors and next year marks the end of Forres. Fire Rescue service transferred to another branch. NOS Badenoch and Strathspey have transferred to Perth and Angus. Music Board are to have 2 members on the Education board. PVG work is ongoing. There is going to be a tent available at the worlds to promote education. The RSPBA website is being updated. Headquarters have met with architects regarding the fire damage to the roof and renovations to Washington Street. Florence asked about the Historical Group. Ian Embleton stepped in and answered this. Due to Kevin Reilly being unwell it has been held up and when headquarters has been renovated the artefacts will be displayed but there is no active committee for this at present. Proposed -JB Portlethen and District Seconded BA RAF Lossiemouth 8 – Treasurer Report as per order paper: Finances looking healthy, one current account closed as had 2 and a deposit account was opened for Reserve Funds. Barry queried why need to increase entry fees. Pauline Watt asked why £10 per section in solo entries, Graham said we will keep an eye on this as it could be discouraging for families because of overall costs. Graham looking into an overpayment of £500 from Aberdeen games to go forward to the 2018 Games this was agreed. Thank You to auditors Denise Buchan Fraserburgh RBL and Susan Cumming Portlethen and District.

My thanks to Chairman Graham Gauld for giving me the opportunity to give this report from HQ.
Major Championships 2017
This was the second visit to St. James playing fields for the British Championships. The events team
from Renfrewshire Council made many improvements from the previous year. This was in the main
due to visits to venues holding the European Championships at Grant Park in Forres and the Scottish
Championships at Levengrove Park in Dumbarton. The re-positioning of the band bus parking
adjacent to the entrance and exit of the field proved very successful. The layout of the complete
field was completely revised from the previous year after liaison meetings between RSPBA and
Renfrewshire Council
The United Kingdom, European and Scottish Championships were held in Stormont Estate, Belfast,
Grant Park, Forres and Levengrove Park, Dumbarton. All well tried and proven venues, where we
were blessed with fair weather. The Worlds on Friday was however a wet and windy occasion and
extremely difficult conditions for all. The Worlds on Saturday were a different day altogether with
reasonably good weather conditions. An additional Arena was introduced to cater for the Novice
Juvenile A & B contests and on completion was handed back to the promoter at 13.30 hours for the
start of the traditional heavy events. The only negative feedback was the tuning facilities for Arenas
1&3.The decision to license the complete Glasgow Green was again appreciated by both competitors
and pay customers alike. The large screen located at the Pencil was again popular with bandsman
looking for finalists for all Adult grades with the exception of Grade 1. All in all deemed a very
successful Worlds.
The World Solo Drumming and International Tenor Drumming Championships were once again in
the Glasgow Caledonia Campus where the new auditorium was again the venue for the Final of the
Adult Finals. Once again live streaming was provided with demand increasing by 89% over the
previous year. There were 7274 live views, of which 4367 watched via Worlds Website and 2907 via
Youtube. The Geography of the sessions covered twenty two countries outwith the UK.
Major Championships 2018 and beyond
This year saw the second of our three year deals with Paisley, Belfast, Forres and Dumbarton. All
four contracts have a further year to run. This year saw the second year of our six year deal with
Glasgow for the Worlds. The Glasgow deal has a further four Years to run.
The Board of Directors agreed to approach interested promoters for the next three year contracts
covering the years 2019/20/21. Invitations were sent out during August with a closing date of noon
21st September, 2017. Interest was shown by a number of promoters but at that point in time only
one bid met the financial securities to meet the RSPBA requirements. To this end Renfrewshire
Council have been rewarded with the British Championships for 2019/20/21. Venue has still to be
confirmed. The present agreement we have with West Dunbartonshire Council is a rolling
agreement that either party may withdraw from the contract by giving two years notice of intent.
-
This therefore leaves us with both the European & United Kingdom Championships available for
acceptable future bids. We have a number of extremely interested parties who all require financial
budget guarantees in order to be successful. To this ends updated bids will be accepted by
May,2018. We still have a further three years to run with Andante Percussion for the world Solo
Drumming Championships. Our contract with the BBC was renewed in 2017 and has a further year to
run.
Premises Update
As you will all be aware the future refurbishment of Headquarters took a back seat after the severe
fire on Friday, 10th March this year. Temporary repairs have now been completed to ensure wind
and water tight during the forthcoming winter. Our Insurance company have offered a settlement of
approximately £123K towards the complete renewal of the entire roof area. The Board of Directors
met in the Abbotsford Hotel , Dumbarton on the Friday prior to the Scottish Championships and
unanimously agreed that the refurbishment would cover two floors only. Further meetings have
been held with Architects to agree final requirements and it is now anticipated that the work will
commence in June 2018 and complete by March 2019. Arrangements to decant the entire building
have still to be finalised. The proposals will include complete refurbishment of the existing building
and will include disabled access to first floor.
Association Finances It is anticipated that the Association will show a working surplus around £70k to year end 31st December, 2017. This together with the balance and investments carried forward from the previous year will show an anticipated total of £850K going forward. Band Registration Checks During the past few seasons checks of current registration lists have been carried out at both Minor and Major contests after the selected bands have completed their performances. Over the period when checks have been carried has seen a major reduction of errors now sitting at 2%. Summer School A highly successful Summer School was again held in the Gaelic School in Anderson at the beginning of August. Over 35 students attended from all over the UK. Again Drum Majors attended at the latter part of the week receiving guidance from Drum Major Adjudicator John Noble. My congratulations to our Education Officer Pat Whelan, together with John Nevans, and his highly professional team of Instructors. Scottish Qualification Awards/ Disclosure Scotland A total of 262 certificates were awarded in 2016. It is anticipated that a total of 306 certificates will be awarded by 31st December, 2017. Examinations were carried at the following locations :- Dublin, Northern Ireland, RSPBA, Johannesburg, Dundee,Perth & Angus , Robert Gordons College, George Watsons College and Johnstone. It was decided by the Board of Directors that all Instructors /Assessors should be disclosed prior to carrying out any duties on behalf of the RSPBA. 11 – Revision of Constitution: Bob Niven, A Skinner, F Allan agree with Ali that it should be ratified by Standing Orders Board Not Paul Brown because it’s a personal opinion. F Allan asked if constitution could go on website –JB said it is already on. Rule 5.5- Treasurer holds cheque book any 2 of 4 can sign as per RSPBA
-
Rule 7.11.c – Discussion re stalemate – secret ballot with no abstentions wording removed – This was not past. Bob will get it ratified changes from now on. Proposed- DB Fraserburgh Seconded -BA RAF Lossiemouth 12 – Correspondence: Thank You From Newtonhill for Summer School sponsorship. 2622 re issue at Huntly School. Banchory clash of date with Dundee – re attendance Banchory re increasing the prize money – suggested to keep it to fund next year’s event incase of inclimate weather. The company declined giving the funding towards local competitions. Letter from Florence re-election of office bearers to revise constitution. Letter from H MacKay given up minute secretary but willing to help. Inverness City –Date of competition fell through as not enough bands entered was not viable. Headquarters invited us to send chairman re vulnerable groups and children PVG. Graham and John attended this. Letter from Badenoch and Strathspey regarding transferring to Perth and Angus Branch. Letter about Summer school fees being sponsored out to bands. Letter to bands regarding SQA /PDQB classes. Letter to Ullapool re late return of trophies. 13 Matters arising: PVG – Graham- Enhanced Disclosure – Coordinator and deputy. The storage of these are under strict guidelines and bands can be advised by volunteer Scotland/CRBS. Local Indoor competitions: Entry fee – status quo Solo Competitions - £5 per class capped at £15 Proposed- JB Portlethen and District Seconded- MS Buchan Peterson Outdoor competitions: Banchory and Aberdeen Games 2018 PC Elgin and District asked about the branch running a competition at any of the local Highland Games – This had been discussed before and had been declined due to the cost of holding a competition. Discussion re branch getting a levy from promoters. Grade 4B/4A – JB Discussion from floor regarding Grade 4A not playing in the Grade 4 Marches. It was discussed that Grade 4A bands used this opportunity to introduce inexperienced members to give them a run out as it is hard to introduce beginners into a MSR competition. Grade 4B bands felt this was a disadvantage to them having to compete against more experienced players. It went to a vote and the motion was passed that Grade 4A could not play down to the grade 4B marches. 12 votes to 3 so motion was passed. PC Elgin and District asked the question about dual registered drummers, this was discussed and JB to take it back to Music board. 14 Honoraria: Secretary £600 Treasurer £300 Minute Secretary £300 Proposed- Buchan Peterson Seconded- Portlethen and District Branch Levy – Status Quo Proposed- 2622 Highland Squadron Seconded-Buchan Peterson Next annual General Meeting 25th November 2018

Chairman’s Report 2018
Looking back at the last 12months has been quite a journey. We started the year with a tremendous
indoor Quartet contest then on to the full band. We must thank the Gordon school in Huntly for this
venue and the hard working canteen staff for seeing to our culinary needs. It is always great to see
such a large turnout to both these contests.
We moved on to our first outdoor contest of the season at Banchory, unfortunately the weather was
not good to us or the contest promoters. Sadly the gate and the entry numbers were not what was
hoped for. The Branch management team made a gesture to the Banchory committee of a few
pounds returned and, this we hope, has given them a helping hand to go again.
Aberdeen Games was for the management team, a challenge, with a very low entry due to the UK
Championships on the Saturday. We asked the competing bands to fill in the afternoon with
individual performances, all rose up to the request and we managed to pacify the council team. A big
thanks goes to all who took part, to keep this local contest alive. Hopefully a larger entry may
happen this coming year, it is unfortunate that the Council funding is seen as payment for musical
entertainment throughout the day , rather than a pipeband contest.
The solo contest has again proved to be very successful in numbers and musical talent.
Our “Prepare for Performance” weekend in Inverness is progressing nicely with a number of North
bands taking up the chance to education. We thank John Nevans and his team for their hard work
and enthusiasm over the weekend.
I must give a huge thanks to the Management team whom without, the Branch would not exist. A
special thanks from me to Linda, our very hard working and diligent Secretary.

Music Board Report
• Sample drum scores for side, bass and tenor will be uploaded to RSPBA website for grades 4A and
4B. They can be used or enhanced to suit different abilities.
• Solo Drumming - A request in for branches to try to follow the same / similar criteria as the World
Solo’s. Jill McHaffie and Julie Brinklow are looking into this.
• Novice A and Juvenile bands will not be downgraded by the Gradings Standards Committee/ Music
Board unless their Instructors request it.
• Bands who have 3 higher to lower transfers within a 12 month rolling period will be monitored.
• Grade 4 Survey results are now on the RSPBA web site.
• Grade 4 bands can submit tunes to the RSPBA for approval, very few bands have done this.
• PDQB - levels 5 & 6 Drumming criteria will increase in difficulty. This has been done to bring
drumming in to line with the piping. A Level 2 Drumming will also be introduced in 2019.
• Merchandise at revamped HQ to be resurrected once completed. There will also be displays of
historical items
• Education - Pipe Band College set up should be complete very soon. Last update was that
role descriptions were being finalised and that there is hope to have this complete by the end of
the year.
• Safeguards - info /questions for parents to be asking. Possible info sheet to be available being
looked at.
• Competition Format Structural Review, “Grade Realignment Project” A group has been set up
to review the current format. Reports on this will come over the coming meetings. •

Director’s report 2018
As we approach the end of another year it is time to reflect on what has happened in the
Branch since the last AGM. Despite some drawbacks it has been a reasonably good period
for us. This time last year we were in the middle of a series of tuition weekends aimed at
allowing our members to gain Nationally Accredited Qualifications from either the SQA or
through PDQB. In the end over sixty students were able to achieve this at various levels and
in their own disciplines. It was with regret that we were not able to facilitate the next levels
locally this year but hopefully that can be remedied in the future. The reinstatement of the
Pipe Band College at Headquarters may help to make that happen.
The competition season got off to a good start with excellent entries for both the Quartettes
and Full Band indoor competitions in the Gordon School in Huntly. Then we moved outdoors
to Banchory where the weather played its part but at least bands got a run out before the
Majors started.
Unfortunately Aberdeen Games again coincided with the Major in Northern Ireland so we
were left with only the small number of bands that had not travelled. Our thanks must go out
to those bands who did turn out at Hazelhead and were happy to accommodate the Council
by giving those extra performances in the afternoon. We do need to keep them on our side
to ensure the future of the competition. It remains to be seen what will happen next year
when we have a similar clash.
With no Mintlaw or Turriff contests our local season has been severely curtailed in recent
years and despite our best efforts it is difficult to find venues/sponsors to extend it again. Any
help that you can suggest with regards to this would be greatly appreciated.
In the Majors it is disappointing that this was the last year that Forres will be holding one. It
was widely agreed that they had raised the bar for everyone when it came to hosting a
Major. It is thanks to them we now have an open bar at Glasgow for the Worlds rather than
being hemmed in to a small part of the Green. We look forward to seeing if Inverness can
reach those same standards next year.
It has been a difficult year for our bands in the Majors this year. Some good early season
results were not maintained throughout and only 2 making the prize list at the World’s.
Hopefully we can see a change next year.
In March of this year at the Association AGM it was passed that branches with a high
enough membership would be entitled to a third Director to sit on the Board. At time of
writing we have not had anyone come forward to show an interest in joining Bob and I in our
roles. We would urge you to spread the word that there is a vacant position there for anyone
willing and able to contribute to helping run both the Branch and Association. Please don’t
hesitate in asking for any guidance as to what is involved, we will be only too glad to answer
your queries.
-
May we take this opportunity to thank everyone for their help and contributions over this last
year and wish everyone the best for the coming season.
John & Bob

Royal Scottish Pipe Band Association
North of Scotland Branch
Treasurer’s Report 2017-18
As can be seen from the Financial Statement, we have had another healthy year on
the Financial front with a surplus of just over £ 3860
All the Indoor Contests, which are self-financing, have run at a surplus, which is
encouraging although without the raffle income, one of these was very close to
running at a loss, so your support for the raffles is much appreciated.
The Outdoor Contests have both run at a surplus, thanks to the Sponsors, and again,
we still face the challenge of tightened budgets from Sponsors, and variable
Adjudicator expenses, as they can travel from anywhere.
On Education, we ran a PDQB/SCQF course in the autumn of 2017, with 66 students
taking the exam. Once we had added up all the various costs and receipts, there was a
surplus of which we paid £675 to Glasgow as a contribution to their Education Fund.
The difficulty with pricing a course like this is the great unknown of just how many
will attend, which was changing right up to the last minute. The general opinion
seems to be that the course was deemed a success by all who attended.
In Sundry Costs there were no major items: £500 for Meeting room hire, £250 for
website services, £290 on Admin expenses, £110 on Glasgow AGM Travel and £60
on Sundry items.
My thanks to the other Committee members, in particular Linda, for their support
and guidance. My thanks also to Denise Buchan and Susan Cumming for giving up
their time to audit the accounts.
