PPBSO set to choose new leader at AGM

The Pipers & Pipe Band Society of Ontario (PPBSO) will elect a new President at its annual general meeting on Saturday, November 26, in Milton, Ontario. The new executive will replace the popular Bob Allen who has led the organization for the past eight years.

The meeting begins at 1:00 at the Lions Club Hall, Memorial Arena, Thompson Road, in Milton.

Along with the election, several new motions will be tabled by PPBSO branches, but the number of proposed rule and policy changes is very few compared with other years.

The AGM will be followed by the 2005 Champion Supreme Ceilidh starting at 6 p.m. at the same venue. Tickets to the ceilidh are $15, and the organization says that limited numbers are still available. Tickets may be ordered through the PPBSO by contacting Sharon Duthart at (905) 878-3000.

Nearby hotel Accommodation is available at the Holiday Inn, Milton, (905) 876-4955, and the Ramada Inn 1-800-249-1136.
