The Bagpiper’s Handbook…a must have for all pipers
It is nice to read what is going on with results and seeing unfamiliar names as well as the more familiar. The tunes played in the ceol mor events are also interesting as on occasion it includes the set tune pieces.
It is noted that the results from Dornoch are incomplete and the editor pleads for information. Perhaps it is asking a lot, but maybe judges should take responsibility to some degree for submitting the results news or indeed one or two of the senior pipers attending. At some gatherings piping convenors do the job, but as some are unaware of the significance of the results, maybe do not know the personalities involved. They are more involved in the running or organising the events and generally do a great service to piping. Having spoken to convenors, they appreciate news from the games being published, adding to publicity for the games as a whole with the participants taking such responsibility, some notably doing so.
