To London tomorrow for the annual Scottish Piping Society of London competitions. Once again Les & Martin Cowell of David Naill & Co have generously donated a set of their DN5 half silver pipes as the principal raffle prize. Proceeds from the raffle are a significant factor in funding the competition. Tickets are available on the day but they can also be purchased via the Society’s website. Please support this raffle if you can. Where else can you be in with a chance of winning a superb instrument worth over £3,500 ($5,250US)? Naills have also generously donated a silver-mounted presentation practice chanter and an engraved nickel practice chanter as other prizes. For those non-pipers, there is also a £250 cash prize. Well done to David Naill & Co for this very generous sponsorship.
Here is a copy of the draw for all the competitions at the Kensington Conference Centre from 9am. Healthy entries in all but the Bratach Gorm. Most of the contests can stand a few of the inevitable call-offs but not this one.
Reminder to all bands: registration forms and fees for the 2016 season must be with RSPBA HQ by November 30. Late payment will incur a 20% surcharge. Adult bands pay £205 and Juvenile £185. Download the forms here.
