The Competition League for Amateur Solo Pipers (CLASP) held its first competition of 2020 yesterday at the National Piping Centre (NPC) in Otago Street in the west end of Glasgow.
There was a large entry – including some from as far afield as Germany, Sweden and England.
The competition was organised by the NPC’s Margaret Dunn and Finlay Johnson. The judges were Ronnie McShannon (Piobaireachd) and Peter Hunt (Light Music).
The next CLASP competition is on March 28 at the National Piping Centre in MacPhater Street. For more information, and to join, go to: theclasp.co.uk
