March 29 + 30, 2002 - The BC Pipers' Association 70th Annual
Gathering Simon Fraser University: 1) The dozens of hard working volunteers. As a small token of thanks, I am creating a BCPipers photo album with photos of most (I hope?) of them - they are truly a treasure of the Association. 2) The SFU Venue - lots of rooms for the crowds, for tuning, for the competition events, and even for spectators - in fact the total number of rooms used was something like 35! Large hallways, lots of informational. signs - it was very well setup. Photos will be shared on the BCpipers site; we will post a reporting video, and you'll find results below. The quick summary: Thanks to the large venue, all Piobaireachd events were held on Friday at the SFU.
The BCPipers site will have photos of all three Judges taken during their performance.
Photo on the right was taken during a lull in activity during the morning.. Here you see a typical hallway in Quad.. registration table on the left, informational signs and boards on the right, classrooms all around. A few sample photos - visit BCPipers.org to see (a lot) more.. And now, thanks to Robert MacNeil, the results and some other interesting information: |
