Brass Band Registry.
- Thread starter Frontman
- Start date
It doesn't sound like it is. In something like 20 years that I've been Contest Secretary for various bands I think I only every had about 2 errors in all those years.
Dibbler, Thanks for the advice, I'll make sure I check them well when they arrive.

Ours came back with one spelling mistake on the card (correct on the sheet) and I was told to amend it myself. All went smoothly in registration on Sunday.

How?
We (or our contest secretary) filled out the names, date of birth, etc ourselves so I can't understand how the cards could be wrong?

How, correct information supplied, incorrectly copied by the registry. Perhap that single chappy trying to do the work of five is getting a little stressed!

Looks like BBE are gearing up for round two with their press release on all4brass.
Could be some interesting Regional Committee AGM's coming up?

Someone should tell them they were knocked out in Round 1.

Quite possibly, but if the AGM's follow the route that NoE seem to be indicating, there could be some interesting times ahead.

Indeed. Perhaps we shall be seeing those individuals in the vanguard of the anti-Kapitol brigade putting themselves forward for election to their respective area committees, the better to take the fight to the enemy. Or perhaps not. We shall see. Seize the moment, comrades!

Maybe some bands didn't have the chance to get their cards in early because they were struggling to sort out players and/or get the photos and forms done for everyone (I resorted to taking pics of some of our guys with my own camera because they never got round to it. lol!).
And maybe the registry has ensured they have enough staff to deal with the inevitable last minute rush that always happens before contests even without folk having to sort out whole bands' worth of cards in one go....

This. What good does this continued bickering do us all?

Our cards also came back quickly and efficiently (I had left it as late as possible to ensure that a player who has been away in New Zealand for 6 weeks could sign his card and get them all done in one go) but this was never about the staff at the respective registries whom all seem to do a wonderful job - it was about bands being forced to do something they didn't want or need to do!
If you had put a lot of work in to an enterprise, if you'd then had to put even more work in to keep it running in the face of a determined sabotage attempt, if you employed people, would you blithely be able to give it up to avoid a bit of bickering?
