(hosted by the Niagara Hamilton Branch, PPBSO)

The William Livingstone Sr. contest was held this weekend on Saturday, May 10, 2007 in the Officer’s Mess of the Argyll and Sutherland Highlanders, James Street Armouries, Hamilton, Ontario. This annual event has been organized and presented by the Niagara-Hamilton Branch of the PPBSO for more than a quarter century. The esteemed panel of adjudicators; Andrew Berthoff, John Cairns and John MacKenzie evaluated the performances of 8 players, with the piobaireachd in the afternoon and the MSR, Hornpipe and Jig in the evening. Turnout was exceptionally good for both events, a credit to the promotion of Julie Stewart and her committee. The competitors hailed from as far away as British Columbia and as close as Dundas, Ontario. The list included Michael Grey (ON), Will Nichols (BC), Sean McKeown (ON), Andrew Smith (AB), James MacHattie (ON), Ian K. MacDonald (ON), Lionel Tupman (ON), and Jacob Dicker (ON). MC for the day was The Captain, Ken Eller.
