Amid bright hot sunshine all day long, and not what we have been used for the  first few events. Mid Ulster Section put on a briliant show with a huge turn out of bands the largest by far this year. Well done to new secretary Ian Scott for a job well done. It was great to see veteran pipe band man Erroll Hassin getting the top honour on the day as Chieftain.

All other positions were elected on block and remain the same.

At this point may i wish the new secretary Ian every good luck in his new role. 

I decided to step down at last nights meeting after serving the Section for quite a number of years due to my own personal reasons.  I would like to thank everyone who has supported and assisted me over the years.  To all the Mid-Ulster bands for their continued support and to the NI Branch members i thank you each and everyone for all your assistance. Without everyone's help and support Cookstown would not have such a successful competition.

I thank the outgoing Chairman Lowry Ferguson for all his guidance and assitance throughout our time working together as a great team for the Section.

I know that Mid-Ulster section will continue to go from Strength to Strength and i personally wish Ian, Willie and Malcolm every success in their new roles.

Kind Regards
