Warnock, Morrison and Acheson take the aggregates at latest in-person CLASP contest
Glasgow – March 25, 2023 – The latest CLASP (Competition League for Amateur Solo Pipers) contest was an in-person event at the National Piping Centre McPhater Street premises. Against a good entry, Marc Warnock of Northern Ireland was the aggregate Grade 1 winner, while the Grade 2 and Grade 3 overall winners were Donald Morrison and James Acheson, respectively. Andrew Bova and Roddy MacLeod judged everything.
Run by the National Piping Centre, CLASP is a special solo circuit for pipers older than 18 who don’t wish to compete at the top levels. In the UK, solo competitions generally have two groups: “Junior” for those 18 and younger and “Senior” for those older than 18. During the pandemic, CLASP created online events and has continued to offer both in-person and online contests.
