CLASP competitors should bring their Games field pass (which was posted to members who entered this event) to gain free access to the field. 
Registrations are at 8.30am and the piping events start at 9am so give yourself plenty of time to get there on time and warm up. This competition will be run by Balloch Highland Games and therefore you will need to keep in touch with your steward on the day. There will be professional piping events running also.
