Welcome to the RSPBA Calendar of Events. These events are of course subject to change so please check back frequently.
All previous years summaries can be found via our results service.
A reminder that this site can only post the information it receives. The RSPBA are responsible for the Major Championships and the World Solo Drumming, it is the responsibility of the Director for every Branch to supply summaries and draws to the Association for inclusion in the Calendar for Local contests.
