At a specially convened meeting of the RSPBA Board of Directors(BoD) this weekend, it was agreed to allow the Sons of Holyland Pipe Band to compete in the Grade 4B Contest at the 2022 World Pipe Band Championships.
In arriving at its decision, the BoD reviewed the various submissions made to the RSPBA prior to the contest closing date, and accepted they showed intent and could see why the Band Secretary believed they had a valid entry to the World Championships.
The BoD also acknowledged that the resulting situation was not a consequence of any administrative error of the Association’s members of staff.
