HNY 2012

A belated Happy New Year to all for 2012: we hope it's a good one for you and yours.

Some news to warm the cockles on a cold, wintery day: we're off to la belle France in August.

Message from Elspeth: the Pipe Band have been invited to Theirache in September this year to help the Orchestra Harmonie Municipal et Orignay, celebrate their 120th anniversary. The pipe Band extend this invitation to you as friends of the Pipe Band. We will leave by bus on Thursday 30th August (evening) and return on Thursday 6th September (early afternoon). The cost will be approximately £90 per person. It is a lovely area of France very near the Belgian border. Renee Lecler has emailed asking for names and numbers so if you could let me know yes or no by Friday, that would be excellent. The Band do hope as many of you as possible will join us.

Emails sent to the blog will be forwarded to Elspeth.

This month also sees the start of the 2012 Celtic Connections festival in Glasgow. Highlights include the annual Gordon Duncan memorial recital and a concert from Lothian & Borders Police and the Spirit of Scotland pipe bands.

Practice nights have resumed, Monday's - school hall - 7.30
