PPBAM Membership,

The annual time has come to hold our Annual General Meeting (AGM). This year's meeting will be held on 2 November 2024 at 2:00pm at ANAVETS 303 (Rockwood), 341 Wilton St, Winnipeg, MB R3M 1X3. [Downstairs]

Each member band is entitled to three voting delegates. Individual members and voting delegates will be identified at the beginning of the meeting to prepare the voting ballots for the election of the Board of Directors.

Attached you will find the Agenda for the meeting plus proposed amendments to the PPBAM Constitution (1) A clean copy of the updated Constitution (2) A copy of the Constitution showing all of the proposed changes,and (3) a Slide deck outlining the changes in a truncated easy to review format. The proposed changes are intended to align our constitution with our current operating practices and update language and formatting throughout.

Currently, we know we are looking for someone who may be interested in joining the PPBAM Board as Treasurer. Peter Heavysege has maintained our finances for a number of years as well as a number of other commitments within the Winnipeg Pipe Band/Scottish Community. We thank Peter for taking on this responsibility and look forward to continuing to work with him in whatever capacity he takes on moving forward. Thank you Peter!

Last year we had a great turn out and hope to see everyone out again this year as we discuss plans for 2025 and beyond.

See you all on the 2nd.
