Allan's Stag do and Julia's Turkey do

Good luck for this weekend - it sounds like you will probably need it!

Julia and the lasses off to Betty's tea rooms at Harrogate - they are going to rip the place up!!!!

Alan off for a sedate saunter around the Toon - tasting the fine wines en route.

Enjoy!!!

Weyhey - we are now on Google!

By the magic of gismometry we can now be found by using the Google search engine - you just type in the City of Newcastle Pipe band and there we are!

Making comments made easier

Dear all,

You can now make comments on these articles easier than before (Pleaee do!!!) - you don't have to register as a blogger - you can just click on comments and type away

Message from Ronnie

Just to make you aware Ronnie has left a message on the Band members page - prior to him leaving for Afghanistan - I am sure I am not alone in wishing him all of the best and hope for a safe return - if for anything to keep the pipers numbers up!

Better late than never

More really good pics of the Band from the Pub crawl - again courtesy of the Band photgrapher Diane - Proves that the sun did shine this Summer - Can you remember it?

New Section for Band Members

I've added a new section in the 'Band Members only' area - called CRAP JOKES - I had set this up on account of Jim's random whiticism's. However, Allan seems to have taken the biscuit! By the way Tom - I think he is due for a change of reed due to the anti-Sunderland (Premiership Club) slant to some of his gags.

By the way hope the barcodes have a nice day oot in Blackpool and Doncaster!

Peebles

Another great trip out - last band off the field (with Hawick) last band out of the pubs (without Hawick!!!)

Highlight of the day had to be Tom's rendition of Father Abraham and him nearly losing his kilt during the chorus - I'm probably going to regret this comment but what the hell I hope someone took pictures!

The Waltzing Matildas! (Greengrass and Joe)

Adam and Matt - Have a safe journey home - keep in touch - we'll post the best pictures of you online (post Jaegermeister and Snakebite....)


NOT!!

This is the Drum Corps

This is the Drum Corps............Nuff said

New pictures from Cowal in the gallery - courtesy Of Diane

The Drum Corps is on fire!!!!!

Mick took this picture of Thomas practicing at the weekend - If you are going to practice this much - stay away from the brussel sprouts/mushy peas/Onions/Chicken Curry(half rice - half chips and a bag of prawn crackers!). It could be a recipe for a nasty accident!

Cowal

It sounds like a good time was had by all it looked like some were still recovering last night! - Well done to the band for a creditable 6th overall and special congrats to the drummers - Outstanding again.

Matthew's haircut!

It must have been a case of dragged screaming and kicking - but he's now sporting a GI Joe style haircut! (Only joking he looks very smart)

After speaking to Thomaslast night he has got a new idea to take the drummers to the next level - after going to the Military Tattoo - he saw some drummers playing while their drumsticks were on fire! Time for the asbestos gloves!
