DUNCAN JOHNSTONE COMPETITION 2008 - CHANGES TO MSR COMPETITION

Dear All,
We have changed the Duncan Johnstone MSR competition.
Because of the large entry we have made the MSR two heats then a play off.
Please check the Piping Centre website for new MSR draw.
MSR Heat A will take place at 9am in the Auditorium and MSR Heat B will take place at 9am in the Theatre Royal Charter Room (just across the road from the NPC).

Sorry for the late decision about this change as we were in consultation with the Piping Centre about the large draw this week and extra rooms have been provided to help make it a better and fairer competition.
 
Good luck to everyone who is competiting
 
Kind regards
 
Michael Gray
