Hi Francis, I joined the NPS in 1991 as expat, the magazine was really the only contact I had with piping. Later the problems of payment caused so much hassle I left perhaps 10 years later. I joined the LBPS because they had payment by bankcard and they were more towards musicology, making and development so I personally got more out of it than I did from the NPS.
So far in 20 years I have just managed to visit the Chantry once and never any competitions, so, I think from my present standpoint, that I would not really get much from re-joining. I believed that Common Stock had much more content on all aspects of bellows piping, and I have not yet heard of any reason, so far, to make me change my opinion. I am in no way knocking the NPS in any way, I have no idea what it is like !, but I have interests in bellows piping that go in parallel and beyond NSP and its specialized field so for now I remain yours Dave SA (ps their web site is worth a visit though lbps.net) A Francis Wood wrote: On 1 Jul 2011, at 20:39, david...@pt.lu wrote: How about posting the article here? There are lots of people who are interested but are not NPS members Hi Dave, I think you've made quite a good case here for joining the NPS.
