The Rose Fletcher Memorial Competition 2024 |

|
Competitors had until May 4th to submit their entries. This allowed our judge, John Reville, a week to assess their performances. On Sunday May 12th competition went public and every competitor received their comment sheets from the judge. The results are published below. Click on any of the entries to view each performance. Competitors had the option to remain private if preferred which is why some of the links below may be dormant. We are very grateful to McCallum Bagpipes who once again have sponsored this competition, donating a large number of prizes to be distributed among all the competitors who have taken part.
