Re: NPU International piping day - Melbourne

Liam! What a coincidence! I sent you an email about this very topic just a few days ago. But maybe your address has changed or something... But in short, yes, I'm definitely up for something. I'm speaking to Comhaltas Melbourne to see if they're interested in supporting a little event. I'll let you ...
