Under Tom's leadership, the band carried on along the winning path and added to their honours many successes including the 1970, ‘73, ‘74 and 1980 World Championships, 1980 being the Jubilee year of the Royal Scottish Pipe Band Association. Tom’s record was 69 firsts, 50 seconds, 34 thirds and various other prizes including 6 British, 4 Scottish, 4 Worlds, 4 Cowal, 5 Europeans and 4 Champion of Champions.

Speedy deletion nomination of "Tom McAllister Jnr"
A tag has been placed on "Tom McAllister Jnr" requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a band or musician, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable, as well as our subject-specific notability guideline for musical topics. You may also wish to consider using a Wizard to help you create articles - see the Article Wizard.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding  to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag - if no such tag exists then the page is no longer a speedy delete candidate and adding a hangon tag is unnecessary), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the page does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that they userfy the page or have a copy emailed to you. &mdash; Timneu22 · talk 13:10, 17 May 2010 (UTC)
