I can't help thinking that for next year the Pacific North West piping
group should move their meeting at this time of year to the same day and
descend on Peter Dyson's house so that we too can play in
Bellingham..........

Tommy’s Day
Now in its second year, ‘Tommy’s Day’ was started to provide an opportunity
for friends and admirers of Tommy Breckons to remember both him and his
contribution to piping. The ‘day’ comprises an afternoon’s informal session
or play around held in Bellingham. Tommy, a life-long resident of
Bellingham, contributed much to piping, not least being a direct link to the
‘prince of pipers’ Tom Clough. His straight forward attitude to life in
general and piping in particular endeared him to many pipers. The format of
the session offers a chance to reminisce on Tommy’s life, share some of his
many anecdotes and play tunes that were associated with him and to have a
general play around. This year, 2011, the event will be held on April 2nd
from 2:30 – 5:00 in Bellingham’s Methodist/United Reform Church.
There is a small charge c £2:00 to cover the cost of hiring the hall. Any
surplus will be passed onto The Bellingham Heritage Centre. There are
facilities for making tea and coffee; participants are encouraged to bring a
small contribution (cake, biscuits, crisps, nibbles but not too much!).
(In addition, there has been some talk of having a walk to Hareshaw Linn,
past Foundry Farm, before hand, this would take about 2 hours at a
leisurely pace!) .
If you are thinking of going it would be useful if you could let me know
