The annual Children's Competition was held on Sat 8/3/08 at the Bowhill War Memorial Club.

The happy 2008 prize winners with their books, trophies and certificates.

Once again there was an excellent turnout for the children's competition with approximately 50 participants across the solo categories,
and representatives from St Ninian's, Cardenden and Denend Primaries.

The standard was particularly high this year giving judges Ian Harkins and Kevin Thompson a difficult job.
Although all the classes were good the over 10 singing came in for special praise.

There was also a good range of items offered this year with several unusual ones. Amongst others we heard:

Winter: a Dirge, Sensibility, Tam O Shanter, A Man's a Man, Willie Wastle, Up In the Morning Early,
My Heart's In the Highlands, My Hoggie, and new to all of us, The Keeking Glass
