CLASP Information for Competitors

All CLASP pipers should register in the Games Field at the Piping tent for 12 noon, with a view to starting at approximately 1pm. However, this will need to be confirmed by the organisers on the day. There will be events running on the CLASP board during the morning, so the judges will need to complete their judging and have a break prior to commencing the CLASP events.

Please note that all the piping events, including CLASP, will be run on the day by Inveraray Highland Games.

Competitors Information

All pipers need to Register at 10.30am at the games field. All competitors will then receive a number badge.

Competitors will need to pay £6 admission fee into the games field, but will receive it back when they register at the 'Events Secretaries Test' in the games field.

There will be two platforms - one for Light Music and one for Piobaireachd. The Highland Games will run the competition on the day, and like any outdoor games, there can sometimes be some tweaks to playing orders so keep in touch with your steward during the day.

Here is the order of play I have passed onto Luss Highland Games. For more information on the games here is a link to the website.
Best of luck to all competing.
