I'm really looking forward to this contest. It's always so well organised and Troon (on a sunny day at least) is such a lovely venue.

Good luck to all those who are taking part!

What do you mean a sunny day - every day is a lovely day in Troon

Looking forward to seeing you all. Come and say hello - I'll be the one frying the burgers!

Good luck to everyone!

[bruceg]

And you fry them so well Diane ;D

Of course every day is lovely in Troon - I never meant to suggest otherwise It's just that the combination of sunshine, banding and beer by the seaside is what makes Land O' Burns my favourite contest of the year.

It was a good day, great to see everyone again, Diane's burgers hit the spot and not a bad result for DTB. Well done guys.

For CraigS - we played the final movement fromm Essay. Not the best performance of it yesterday but the band did good. ;D

I was pleased to see Dunfermlines result Dave given the problems they faced with personnel. Considering they took the stage about five players down they can be justifiably proud of the way they played. Well done.
