Dear Friends,

Lots of love and best wishes to Conall, Roisin, Dara and Calum from all at the society.
The North East Scotland Classical Guitar Society (NESCGS) is pleased to announce the winner of its
2008/2009 NESCGS Recital Competition
The winner of the 2008/09 award to an RSAMD student was won by Sofia Pyrounaki. The more observant amongst you will spot that Sofia was already booked for our Xmas Recital, so we will have two visits from her this season (a nice problem to have).
There were 9 entrants (originally 10 but Ian Watt had to withdraw due to illness). The judging panel was Ben Verdery, Peter Argondizza and myself . The standard was very high and selecting the winner was a tough option. However, a choice was made. I can assure you that we would have been happy with any of the entrants.
Peter Stock, NESCGS Chairman
Committee members Peter Stock and Les Stewart with Scott Tennant of LAGQ at the Dundee Guitar Festival.
Dundee Festival was a roaring success. Many society members were among the lucky partipants at the festival, enjoying the wonderful concerts and masterclasses on offer. The society would like to thank all involved especially Mr Neave (our patron), and the staff, tutors and performers for their support, tuition and entertainment during the festival.
Members and visitors
It gives me great pleasure to advise you that Allan Neave has agreed to become the Patron of The NESCGS
Although patronage is a somewhat nebulous term, our fundamental desire is to forge closer links with Allan. As we are the only classical guitar society in Scotland and Allan is Scotland 's most prominent performer and exponent, we feel a closer relationship is natural and appropriate and will hopefully create benefits for both he and us. I hope you will all agree with me that this is an important next step in the growth of our fledgling society.
Keep plucking ... Peter Stock (NESCGS Chairman)
