Dear friends and fellow pipers,
We wish to let you know about two important changes to the Pipers' Gathering in 2008: the date and the venue.
Next year, the Pipers' Gathering will be held on the first weekend in August (August 1 through 4 - Friday through Monday). Please make a note in your diaries, on your calendars, in your blackberries, on the back of your hand, shirt sleeve, pipe case, in fact anywhere that will help you remember to be in Killington, Vermont on that weekend. Don't miss one of the best piping events of the year just because you forgot that the date has changed!
The venue: We will still be meeting at the Killington Grand Hotel but all our activities will take place in a separate building, the Snowshed Lodge, at the far side of the lake to the rear of the hotel. This means that we will be entirely separate from other hotel guests as far as workshops, symposiums, sessions and concerts are concerned. In other words, there will be more space to "do our own thing." Sleeping accomodation arrangements are unchanged and rooms should be booked in the usual manner, by calling the central reservation number - details in due course.
2008 is going to be a great year for the Pipers' Gathering. Make plans now to be with us next August.
We are all looking forward to seeing you.
Rick Damon, Chairman
Mark Stayton, Treasurer
Dawn Littlepage, Secretary
