Having taught a lesson via Skype I would say that could be very interesting given the time lags the system has :-) Ian amble skuse wrote: you could even have an award for the best skype duet, competitiors should be on different continents. Amble 2009/8/14 Ian Lawther <[1][2]irlawt...@comcast.net> Good thought Steve - perhaps only the Open could be webcast in the way only the Grade 1 World Pipe Band contest is. The phone reference brings up another (looney) idea. Do away with the overseas class and have entries in real time via Skype as part of the main classes at the competitions..........

But it might be enough to just post it to YouTube after the event. 3Gs Iphone will send straight to YouTube, and could be viewed in minutes. The only problem there may be, is that it may deter some of the more inexperienced or nervous players from taking part. Participation needs to be encouraged.

You could also e-mail Alba to ask when they are showing it - I particularly enjoyed the 'Pipe Idol' competition from last year - perhaps the NPS should have such a competition, or would the fallout cause us to implode!
