We are delighted to announce that Willie McCallum has agreed to chair this year’s Grading Committee, and we are very pleased that all of last year’s Committee have agreed to stay on for another year.

We are also delighted to announce that Alasdair Gillies has agreed to join the Grading Committee, ensuring that the US piping scene is now represented. The significant representation of overseas based members who either compete or judge in Scotland is designed to ensure that the grading process is as internationally comparable as possible.

The 2009/10 Grading Committee comprises:

Willie McCallum (Chair)
Alasdair Gillies
Jack Lee
Bill Livingstone
Donald MacPhee
Malcolm McRae
James Murray
Iain Speirs
Greg Wilson

The timetable for the 2009/10 grading process will be released during October 2009.
