[NSP] Saugerties Piping Weekend
Dear Piping Friends, There is still room for a few more pipers at the annual gathering at Saugerties. Either the economy has gotten so bad as to interfere with piping activities, or people are just very slow at making reservations. Many of you have heard that Ernie is expecting (hoping, actually) to be away this year at the time of the annual Saugerties Pipping Pilgrimage. I will act as coordinator this year, and I will operate under the guidelines of "What Would Ernie Do?" For those of you who are considering joining us this year but have not been before, here is a brief idea of what to expect. The weekend is almost completely unstructured. There are no instructors, no classes, no Group A/B/C, and no concerts. It is completely up to you to do as you wish. People will be playing alone or in small groups, doing maintenance, getting help with maintenance, or just relaxing. Our weekend is spent in a comfortable retreat center on 60 acres of land on the Hudson, in Saugerties, NY. Although this event began life as a Northumbrian piping weekend, there are many other instruments being played, such as Scottish Smallpipes, Uilleann Pipes, Cornish Pipes, concertinas, ukeleles, and the occasional kazoo! The only structure to the weekend is mealtime. Although there is no requirement to take meals with the group, most people choose to do that. The meals are simple and good. The dates for the 2009 Saugerties Piping Weekend are April 24-27, 2009. Costs: $25 non-refundable deposit Friday through Monday (includes Friday dinner, 3 meals Saturday and Sunday, Breakfast & Lunch on Monday) $235 Friday through Sunday (includes Friday dinner, 3 meals Saturday, Breakfast & Lunch on Sunday) $155 One night only (includes Dinner and the next day Breakfast & Lunch) $80 Please let me know if you plan to attend, so that we can get a general idea of what to expect. If you know you're coming, please send along a deposit and reserve your spot. There are a limited number of double rooms that will be given out first-come first-served. If you wish to check distances, the address for the event is: Falling Waters. St. Joseph Villa. 43 Spaulding Lane. Saugerties, NY You can send a deposit to: Rick Damon 626 Old Schoolhouse Road South Ryegate, VT 05069 I look forward to a reunion of long-time piping friends and to meeting new friends. Feel free to write to me with any questions. best wishes, Rick Damon rick.da...@dartmouth.edu To get on or off this list see list information at http://www.cs.dartmouth.edu/~wbc/lute-admin/index.html
