TNPC 2021 Round up
Thank you to all our friends across the world for helping make 2021 a special year. We hope to see more of you in person in 2022! If you need some piping news for the next few days, head over to www.bagpipe.news for lots more great features and articles!

We did it! We are delighted to say that we have raised more than £31,000, smashing our initial target of £28,500, in just two weeks. Your generosity will now allow us to digitise the Piping Times and Piping Today periodicals, as well as produce a new annual Piping Times title. Following this achievement, we are now expanding our crowdfunding campaign target to £33,500 to allow us to also digitise The International Piper magazine. The International Piper was a monthly magazine which ran from 1978 until 1981 and was founded by the late Captain John A. MacLellan MBE (1921-1991) and his wife, Christine. The magazine contained news, articles and comment, including columns detailing the activities of the Scottish Piping Society of London, and Tom Speirs’ reports on the old Eagle Pipers’ Society. It would be amazing to be able to digitise and protect the legacy of this periodical as well as Piping Today and Piping Times to allow pipers to read many years of fascinating information and humorous stories for many years to come. Our crowdfunding will continue until the end of the month (Monday 31st May 2021) and you will be able to donate via the page: https://www.crowdfunder.co.uk/pipingtimes
