It is here, but I don’t know how or why:
http://chiffboard.mati.ca/viewtopic.php?t=50629
I think we need to bring it back here, where folks are accustomed to seeing it, for the next few days…

Let’s see…the thread’s not about whistles or whistling or activities or accessories with whistlers in mind, particularly. So, being of general interest, it’s really Pub material. And at this point the thread already has five pages, so it’s not like people don’t know about it. But if you feel the need to direct people to it from here, this thread can be left up and those who want to can bump it if they like.
Nanahedron,
I have posted on this thread, and I’m going to the North East Whistle Gathering for the first time. I could not find the thread yesterday. If someone else wants to join us, and can’t find the thread, they’ll miss out on a wonderful day of whistling. I don’t see how you can say “it’s not about whistles, whistling or activities with whistlers in mind”. The purpose of this thread is explicitly for whistles, and is explicitly about whistles and whistlers. This gathering is about whistlers getting together, whistling together, trying out all the different whistles, guiding new whistlers, etc.. There are only 4 days until the whistle gathering.
Please don’t make someone miss out on any needed last-minute information, or have to jump all over the forum to find it.
Please put this thread back under “whistle forum” where everyone can find it and where it belongs.
Regards,
Lyn D

Miscellaneous information—
- Tables and chairs are provided on-site. No need to bring a lawn chair. Indoor space is available in case of rain.
- Cool swimming spot in the Scantic River right there!!
- Bring whistles, music, music stands, other instruments to show, share, play.
- Live music. There will be plenty of opportunity to play your whistles, if you have the urge. For all levels of ability. Whistle accompaniment provided by guitar, mandolin(s), flute(s), perhaps fiddle and more. If you wish to play accompanied, get ready; (hint) the guitar player is likely to do a better job if you let him borrow your sheet music showing the chord charts. Don’t have sheet music(?), don’t worry, though, he can improvise. We want to hear you do your favorite stuff on your favorite instrument.
Stay tuned on this and other applicable threads for any more developments.
It’s getting close, Lloyd
No, it’s not. It’s for musicians. Certainly whistlers will be there.
So long as this thread is here, no need. The other one doesn’t “belong” here according to how it was presented. But here’s an alternative: take it up with Dale. If he agrees that it can go back to the Whistle Forum, I won’t object at all, and fair play to you along with my best regards.
But how onerous is it to nip on over to the Pub to read the thread? And a link has been provided here, too.
This is the Northeast Whistle Gathering, which has traditionally been posted here and which is still the first site many (including me) go to. I don’t usually get into these - but give it a break guy; how silly is it to remove this thread, really solidly connected to whistles by name and substance, to another subsite?
Philo
Sorry, PhilO. The header says “Northeast Chiff and Fipple Gathering”. I’m just going by what I’m given to work with. If you want, we can change the header and bring it back. I’ve no problem with that.
There. Done, and done. Cheers. 
Thanks for the understanding Nano, and sorry for the miscommunication.
Philo
No problem. I’m afraid I’m pretty literal-minded at times, but so long as there’s no harm done, it made for a bit of excitement in the cozy Whistle Forum, didn’t it. 
…been lurkin’ on the pipe forum, they have
Yeesh. Don’t even start.
Communication is a great thing! Thanks, Nano.

Lyn
I really ran into a buzz-saw at work today and was not looking forward to the (for me) inevitable) “weighing in” on the re-positioning of the thread. I am glad that cooler heads, such as those of Philo & Nano, have prevailed. I spent most of the day wailing on contractors who deserved wailing on, and will admit that I was still full of vinegar when I walked in the door tonight. It is likely that I would have been overly strident about the re-positioning of the thread, for I am one very unpleasant person to be around when I think I am right. (Fortunately, I am rarely right, so folks don’t get to see that side of me all that often!!)
Congrats on us all. I very much look forward to Sunday. I appreciate more than ever the importance of the message board and the hard work done by the moderators to keep it moving.
Now that Paul has indicated that he will, unfortunately, not be able to attend, is it possible that the event be visited by another fine whistle maker? Only the Shadow knows for sure…
Thanks all,
Tom D.
Who you callin’ a Shadow?
Oh well. the Shadow just heard from another local whistle maker and that person will not be there either.
And the weatherman is calling for thunderstorms for Sunday, which means I may not be there. I’m down to a motorcycle for transportation and I ain’t riding in the rain if I can help it.
It’s only Wednesday though, so things could change.
