The new facebook forum The Proper Northumberland small-pipe Players has
now developed into an array of topics: Traditional reedmaking,
smallpipe making , traditional developement and delving into the past
to see how things might have worked and possibly revamp them for todays
use.
Dear Adrian,

will find it totally boring.
The problem with Dartmouth is that it is very difficult

I agree with both Francis and Julia. A good, well run, forum is a
great and flexible tool for the discussion of all matters piping. I
have been a member of a number of forums for my other interests and
compared with the mailing list style of interaction there is no
comparison. I have
Mike is right about the value of a forum as compared to a list. There are a
couple of uilleann pipes forums which each contain a superb archive of

Would it be possible to have a forum on the pipersfourm dedicated to
TOTM? There might only be two of us interested in it, in which case it
might as well stay here--no need to make more work for Julia. I hoped
that pipers like Inky would participate so that they can show us what
I think Adrian is expressing some of my personal opinion. I think
that the NPS has a significant duty to provide information to its
