The 71st Ulster Pipe Band & Drum Major Championships will be held in the grounds of Cookstown High School, Cookstown, Co.Tyrone, on August 3rd from 10am.
RSPBANI Chairman Alastair Patterson said: ‘After earlier disappointments, we have worked hard to secure a venue for this year’s event. It is great to be working in collaboration with our Mid Ulster Section and also with the team at Mid Ulster District Council in the delivery of this premier event.
‘There is ample parking at the school (£5) and card payments at the gate. There will also be plenty of food and drink vendors on the day and we will all hope for pleasant weather.’ More information here.
