Piper

Postby elainemck » Sun May 21, 2006 8:30 pm

We are still on the lookout for 2 lone pipers to play at the halfway points for each of the routes - think this will be great motivation for the runners and a fantastic photo opportunity. So if you or you know of someone wanting to show off some local talent please let me know! You can email me on elainemckillop@hotmail.com or pm me.

Thanks

Iain mcKerral would be the best person to ask about this.

But with the number of pipers that he has I am sure that he can spare a couple ... maybe those that have graduated out of the junior level bands.

I am sure if you asked him he would know where to go!

He is marshalling ... best avenue for him!

He almost entered to run. Even though I would be first to say that he is multi-talented, running, marshalling and piping, together, is a bit of a tall order!

If he could do all that, and cycle his bike at the SAME time, then he might get his picture in the Courier!!

after a quick re-read of that post:

FOR "WARNING ME OFF" please read "encouraging me to the finish"

nearly way too much controversy (not sure on that spelling :cry: ) for a tuesday
