The 2012 Annual general Meeting (AGM) was held on Tuesday, August 14, 2012 at 9:00PM in the CBBB band room. The meeting started with a tribute to the late Jimmy Kelty (a life time member of the band) from the President of the band and was followed by a reading of the Minutes of the 2011 AGM, the Presidents report and reports from other Office Bearers. Also on the agenda was a proposal to increase the Yearly Family Registration rate from $150 per year to $160 per year (1 Senior and Junior) + $35 for each additional family member.

Our band has just finished supporting the St Andrews Caledonian Pipe Band in it's 2012 Celtic Force concert series. Celtic Force concert series are a huge undertaking, and this years was even bigger than usual, with no less than three concerts in Launceston over two separate nights. The following E-mail from John Ralph (director of the concert series) gives you a report on the event as well as serving as a thankyou letter to all those involved in putting it together.
