Andrew's Tips: Northern Meeting Clasp Winners
By Andrew T. Lenz, Jr., Santa Cruz, California, 2007-2009
The following is a list of Clasp Winners at the Northern Meeting traditionally held in Inverness, Scotland in the fall. These games were founded in the late 19th century and is one of the most prestigious piping venues in the world. Only holders of the Highland Society of London's Gold Medal can compete for The Clasp at the Northern Meeting, it being a "former winners" event. From 2005 through 2007, the event was held in Aviemore while the Eden Court Theatre in Inverness was undergoing remodelling. The event returned to Inverness in 2008.
