That's what I had presumed so as the original post was information to do
with piping it was quite valid in my eyes (whether anyone makes money from

Dear Colin Hill,
The NSP dartmouth list has nothing to do with the Northumbrian Pipers'
Society other than the fact that many Society members post to this list. It

Can someone please enlighten me on something as I am obviously too old and

Is this particular list an "open" list for matters pertaining to piping in

However, the NPS didn't organise the Pipers' Week - it has, as you say, been
done independently.
I don't think it matters who does it, so long as it is organised well and run
at a fair price.
Or is it better for the NPS to not do something than for someone else to do it?

My favourite place (either there or just thinking about it) is a cliff path
called "The Warren" outside of Polperro in Cornwall.
Slow airs and waltzes mainly as it's so peaceful. Narrow path, gorse bushes
