Story
Comrie Pipe Band are a small local, non competing band, with enthusiastic members ranging from 7 to 80yrs old (including one wheelchair member).
They're well know in the local area, playing at many local events through out the year including Crieff Highland Games and the Comrie Flambeaux parade at Hogmanay.
A group of visitors from Maureillas, France seen the band playing last summer and loved them (why wouldn't they?). They got in touch to invite the band to go to their village for a cultural exchange this October.
The band jumped at the chance to go (not so much the day and a half bus trip), so now need to raise some funds to get them there.
To help with the costs various members are doing some sponsored events.
2nd June - George (Treasurer), Louise (Bass Drum) & Corrie (Piper) are cycling the 100 miles Breadalbane cycle loop.
8th June - Ian (Drum Sergeant) and the drummers (mainly junior members) are taking on a walk from Comrie to Callander, 13 miles of hill walking.
8th June - Susie (Secretary/QM) is completing a 30 mile duathlon, swimming across Loch Ericht and a mountain run.
Would be amazing if you could help by sponsoring them.
Thanks :)

5 years agoThanks for all the amazing support! I never thought we'd reach £1000 and so quickly. The actual cost for the trip is much higher, so I've raised the target to £2000. Everyone is getting in some training for their sponsored events while the weather is so good. Please spur them on by digging deep. Thanks :)
