The RSPBANI Executive Committee have met and decided that they will make a recommendation at the next Branch Meeting on Saturday 27th March 2021, that there will be no contests in April, May, June or July 2021,
The RSPBANI Executive are actively considering organising Pipe Band “Festival” events on two Saturdays in August 2021 (potentially one in September).
The detailed format of the ‘Festivals’ remains to be determined as the Festival is still in the early planning stages, however, the intention is that they would involve showcase performances by the bands who are in attendance,
Bands will understand that the ‘Festival’ events would require considerable planning to ensure that they are organised to be Covid-19 safe,
Prior to undertaking this planning, we would be very grateful if bands could advise us by emailing secretary@rspbani.org indicating if they could commit (subject of course to Government regulations at the time) to attending such a Festival
