Robert Brown the organizer asked me to post it on my website. I thought it was appropriate for it to be posted here also to try to get the word out.
Pat.
Well done. I always suspected there had to be pipers in Newfoundland. Now we’ve got Canadian pipers’ clubs in B.C., Ontario, Quebec and Newfoundland & Labrador. Am I missing anyone? Nunavut? NWT? Yukon?
I know there’s a couple of stranded Upipers in Alberta and Manitoba, but I’m not aware of any club-like activities there.

Well it’s looking good for the region now.
More controversy djm eh?
Pat.
Not that I’m aware of (?). No controversy was intended by me.

Look folks, controversy is one thing, but banjos… that is a step too far. 
Great to hear of a tionol on Newfoundland, the best of times to them!
Not if the next step lands on a banjo. crunch plink
