Congrats Lincoln!!
Interesting name for such a prize. Does anyone know how many ‘Australasian’ pipers (not just Australian) competed?
Well Done! Lincoln All your hard work has eventually paid off.
Lawrie, you are absolutley right. I know for a fact that none of New Zealand’s top young pipers were at this competition, and I’m pretty sure the competition was not even advertised over here. Surely the event needs a name change, it’s highly misleading.
I understand people’s concerns about the naming of the contest but surely after pointing out those concerns, would it hurt to congratulate the winner? Congratulations, Lincoln!
Well Done Linc
