Congratulations to all of the competitors who competed at WPA mini-gatherings this year, it takes a lot of preparation and courage. Thanks to our judges Hal Senyk and David Bowman. Special thanks to the dedicated volunteers Rochelle Wheeler and Julie Alger at registration & cleanup after events, Doug Stone, Joe Alger, Steve Wheeler and Bruce Graham for stewarding and introducing drummers and pipers when needed. Karen Gayle and Kathy Bowie-Vegors for setting up snack tables, getting judges lunches, and clean-up. Thanks to Kelli and Scott DeVight for coordinating with Grace Fellowship, setting up and cleaning up for every event. Diane Axworthy for all of the treasurer duties, and showing up to make sure judges and other expenses got paid when she wasn’t feeling well, and maintaining and encouraging active board participation. There are many others who have helped out when asked, stayed after events to help clean up, and it’s all of you who help keep the events running smoothly and providing a great opportunity for bagpipe and drum competitors to gather, perform, and learn from some of the top soloists and judges in the Northwest and British Columbia.
