Since this has emerged into the daylight, I feel entitled to comment
and I am appalled.
I have no idea what assertions have already been made in this hitherto
private correspondance. However, I'd suggest that their objectivity be
scrutinised very carefully.

Just to let everyone know what's happening. The submission for
Julia
will go off as soon as I'm confident that the people whose names
appear
are happy. Some have expressed opinions so clearly and I don't
expect
to hear further from them. If you are having doubts either way
about
the presence of your signature please get in touch no later than
Tuesday 26th May.
May I add that I am doing this with Colin's approval although he
certainly did not instigate it. In my view the Society needs the
involvement of the grandees such as Colin. To have him put out to
pasture at this stage would be, I think, unwise and unjust. Here is
what I hope to send to Julia next week:
Julia Say
Hon. Secretary
Northumbrian Pipers' Society
Dear Julia
We the undersigned request that an Extraordinary general meeting of
Society members be convened in order to consider the following
motion:
"Following strong dissatisfaction expressed by many members, this
meeting proposes that the committee's choice of president be
reconsidered, and mandates the committee to re-start the selection
process, with nominations and voting facilities to be extended to
the
entire membership."
Yours sincerely,
Helen Capes
Richard Evans
Gordon Greenley
Philip Gruar
Paul Gretton
Marianne Hall
Simon James
Ian Lawther
Anthony Robb
Adrian Schofield
Matt Seattle
Neil Tavernor
