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?

All my activity in piping has been for the Society in terms of running events. I never advertised when I was taking the Pipemaking class I did at Killingworth although I must confess that I did mention on the Pipers List that I had a G chanter for sale. The thing that bugs me is that the Pipers'Week would have been an ideal event for the NPS to run at the time of the Concert and Competitions and would have strengthened the work of the Society and its image to fulfill the aims of the Society to encourage the playing of the pipes.

What of the business I imagine inevitably generated over the years via the NPS for a professional pipemaker through holding the positions of Chairman of and Technical Adviser to, the Society?

Th is is a course that is not run by the NPS but for the benefit of the person who is running it who although taking the risk and time to organise it is also taking any profit that may arise.
