Dear Colin,
There is no difference between a course run by an individual as a
private event and one run for the Society by the same individual. The
point I am trying to make is that the individual concerned would have
been doing more for piping in general by running it as a Society
event.There was never going to be any money made out of running the
event but there would have been the advantage of having free publicity
and also helpn from the Committe and and underwriting of any losses. As
I have said the week-long course was in the planning stage by the
Society when it was taken over by Susan when she made the 'Great Escape
North'. There was no discussion,it was a 'fait accompli'. Do you wonder
why I am bringing to everyone's attention?

Can someone please enlighten me on something as I am obviously too old
and doddering to understand.
Is this particular list an "open" list for matters pertaining to piping
in general or only as it concerns the Society?
For the life of me, I can't see the problem with self-advertising
provided that it is to do with piping.
Presumably, If I had heard of a piping course and then written a post
"h
ey pipers, there's a course being held at...................". That
would be piping news surely and quite acceptable?
Please explain the difference to me between a course held by the
Society and one held by an individual as far as this (open) list is
concerned (if it is open).
Many people on this list are not members of the Society (hence the
opening of the "dirty laundry" alternative list).
Please inform us as to whether this list is to discuss piping in all
it's aspects or only those aspects that the Society have a hand in.
I think we need this clarification.
If it is, indeed, NOT an open list but one being run for and on behalf
of the Society, I think that needs pointing out notwithstanding the
fact that the Society "runs" it and benefits from it (by spreading the
word that it exists).
If it IS a Society bases list only, maybe a change of name should be
considered.
Again, if it's an open list, maybe we shouldn't have details of the
Society's contributions either (to make it fair).
You can't have it both ways.
An open list or a NPS list?
That would, I think, help many of us to understand what is acceptable
and what is not.
If it IS a specific NPS list, maybe it should be restricted to members.
Maybe a truly open list (such as the English Bagpipes list on Yahoo)
should be started as an alternative to those who wish to discuss ALL
aspect
s of piping and where the news of a course on piping would be
accepted as news regardless of who was running it?

No problem as you are doing it as a group activity and there is no
conflict with the NPS who I am sure welcomes it.

And if (nsp dartmouth) is only for material sanctioned by the NPS, why
did we need (NPS discussion).
And can I advertise the Manchester group Pipers' day (3rd October) run
and risk taken by individuals (no financial support from the NPS) on
the (NPS discusion) list. Well I'm going to anyway.
