The weekend was a great success with the band being in a good position wih the new year approaching, We received praises on our change from the McCallum chanter to the sinclair which was the response we were looking for.

I woiuld like to take this oppurtunity to thank Aaron O'Neill and Adam Wishart who made the trip from Australia to play with us. Aaron also had success on the solo board on saturday morning gaining a second and 2 thirds in the B grade. See this link for full results. http://pbforum.co.nz/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=1821
