SCOTTISH BRASS BAND ASSOCIATION
CONTEST RULES

Version effective from 1 January 2005

Appendix I
The Scottish Brass Band Association
Registration Rules applicable to Junior and Training Bands


1.
   In any situation where any member band is operating a junior or training band and that junior or training band has become a member band of SBBA under the special membership arrangements existing for such junior or training bands, players within the junior or training band may, if the band so desires, be registered as members of that junior or training band.
2.
   All normal Registration Rules as contained in Appendix IV and all normal Registry fees and charges will apply to any such registrations with the exception that where a player has been registered as a member of a junior or training band for a minimum period of 28 days, that player, upon application, can be transferred from the junior or training band to the senior band within the same band organisation and will be immediately available to take part in any contest as a member of the senior band from the date of the said transfer. This special arrangement will however only apply in a situation where a player has been a registered player in a junior or training band for a minimum period of 28 days and subsequently transfers to the senior band within the same band organisation as the junior or training band concerned.
3.
   In all situations where players are being transferred from the junior or training band to the senior band in accordance with rule 2 above, the normal transfer fee will be payable and there will be no requirement to pay the higher fee which applies to new registrations to take effect within the period of 28 days from receipt by the Registrar of the application.
