Bicentenary Pipe Band Championships 2010

   
'We ran a very successful concert and ceilidh on Friday 26 February 2010 with Hell for Leather, Folk, Ceilidh and Rock Band once again providing some fantastic foot stomping music which had the crowd up for every dance.  The band were supported by the Margaret Rose School of Dance highland dancers  who put on an exciting display of the dances they are going to do in Hawaii in April  and  Helensburgh & District Pipe Band  gave an excellent performance, including their now world famous drum fanfare, to the delight of the crowd.  We raised several hundred pounds for our funds and would like to thank all the artistes, volunteer helpers, Victoria Hall staff and members of the public for their continued outstanding support and  hope to see you all at the Bicentenary Pipeband Championships on Sunday 19 June 2011.'

The Bicentenary Pipe Band Championships were a huge sucess once again in 2010, attracting more pipe bands, highland dancers, stalls and visitors than ever before with local shops reporting record sales and one restaurant even having to close as it had sold out of everything. The Closing Parade of pipe bands marching down Sinclair Street with their silverware, in glorious sunshine, was once again an amazing spectacle for which several new prizes have been donated.
