Recently at the Hastings Highland Games held over the Easter long weekend, two canterbury- based pipers, Tom Glover and Simon Fraser, won the Comunn na Piobaireachd Gold and Silver Medals respectively. Greg Wilson, who has also recently moved to Christchurch, won his 10th Clasp for former winners of the Gold Medal, and now holds the record for the most Clasp wins. On behalf of the members and supporters of the HPSC, we would like to offer our congratulations to all of the above for their successes.
