[NSP] Piping Day near Salisbury, Wilts, May 15th

2010-04-29 Thread Ian Curr
   Dear Piper

   A reminder that Salisbury Pipers are holding their fifth annual Piping
   Day on Saturday May 15th. The venue is, as usual, Idmiston Memorial
   Hall in Porton Village, 6m north of Salisbury, Wilts, just off the A338
   (near the Aquatic/Garden Centre). The day of informal piping lasts from
   10am-5pm and this year will include an optional workshop, led by Eric
   Franklin, on pipes maintenance. It's great fun - why not come along?
   Lunch is 'bring and share' buffet (or adjourn to the nearby Porton
   Hotel). Cost depends on the number of participants but is likely to be
   -L-2-3 towards the hire of the hall. It's helpful to bring along the
   usual NPS tunebooks and folios, and a music stand.
   If you are planning to join us, it would be most helpful for estimating
   numbers if you could contact me off list. Many thanks.



   Salisbury Piping Day is held in memory of Jim Bryan, NPS President
   2006-2009.Further details: contact Ian Curr off list

   Just a reminder that the President's Day in Salisbury is going ahead,
   as Jim Bryan had planned it, and in honour of his memory, on Saturday
   May 16th. It will take place at Idmiston Memorial Hall in Porton
   Village, 6m north of Salisbury, Wilts (UK), off the A338 main road. The
   hall is by the garden/aquatic centre, and there is ample parking.



   If you intend to come along, please bring a music stand, the usual
   books (1-3, duet, folios, etc) and a contribution (in food) to the
   shared buffet lunch. The day will last from 10-5pm and the format will
   be informal, as Jim would have wanted.



   I can be contacted off list [1]i.c...@ntlworld.com to supply any
   further details.

[NSP] Jim Bryan

2009-03-01 Thread Ian Curr
   The Salisbury Journal has published an obituary for Jim in the current
   issue. You can find it on the web at
   [1]http://www.salisburyjournal.co.uk/news/4150242.Bagpipe_legend_dies_a
   t_77/ with a picture of him playing at home. The headline is Bagpipe
   Legend Dies at 77. I think Jim would have liked that!

[NSP] funeral of Jim Bryan, NPS President

2009-02-14 Thread Ian Curr
I would be grateful if pipers coming to Jim's funeral and intending to bring 
their pipes could let me know (contact me offlist, please, 
i.c...@ntlworld.com). There is going to be piping during the services, and 
there should be a chance for everyone to play in the period after the Church 
service; the Wiltshire group are working out a rota for this and we would 
like to make sure that all Jim's favourite tunes are played at some point.


Just a reminder of the arrangements: Thursday 19th, 10.30 at the 
Crematorium, Salisbury, Wilts and 11.30 at St Mark's Church, Salisbury (both 
are on the London Road, near to the ring road. SP1 3DH for the Church; for 
crematorium come off roundabout keeping the Church on your left; continue 
1/4 mile to traffic lights and turn left - entrance is on your left). There 
will be some tea/sherry and something to eat afterwards in the church.

Pipers may wish to know that the recently re-elected NPS president,
lifelong piper  enthusiast, and pipemaking book author, Jim Bryan,
passed away peacefully at home last night. He had not been well for
some time.

No further details are available at present but obviously our first
thoughts are with Marian and their family.

Please feel free to pass this on to other players you may know who do
not read this list.

Julia Say
NPS Hon Sec.
