Just to note that Early Bird Registration for the 2015 Pipers Gathering opened on St. Patrick’s day and runs until 31 March (when the price steps up a bit). The Gathering will again be held in Litchfield, CT on the weekend of 21–23 August. For details please visit the new, improved Pipers Gathering web site. There will be whistle instruction as well as some of our favorite vendors present.
Best wishes,
Steve
This is a wonderful event, and the Litchfield, CT facility (Wisdom House) is a great gathering place to host it. If you can make it, I promise you’ll be glad you did.

So you missed the reduced cost, early bird registration period. Don’t despair. Through the kindness of the Van Jackman Memorial Fund, the Pipers’s Gathering is able to offer a limited number of scholarships to the 2015 event. Check the web site for further information.
Best wishes.
