Colonials appoint their Standard Bearer 2018

Selkirk Colonial Society are delighted to announce that they have appointed Alisdair Lindsay Piercy from Canada to be their Standard Bearer for 2018.  Following his appointment, Alisdair has informed the Society that his wife, Sarah, will buss his flag. 

Alisdair Piercy is the 39-year-old son of Drew Piercy and Barbara Hood (Smail) and lives in Canada with his wife Sarah and two kids, son Cameron (6) and daughter Mackinley (3). Alisdair has lived in Canada for twelve years since emigrating in 2006 and became a Canadian Citizen in 2017. 

Having grown up in Selkirk and enjoying Common Ridings every year Alisdair is filled with a great sense of pride and honour to be following in the footsteps of his Grandpa Archie (Smail) and Dad Drew who themselves were Standard Bearers for the Weavers and Hammermen.
