Poppy Launch

Yesterday, The Stow Caledonian Pipe Band played at The Warrant Officer for The Walthamstow British Legion's Poppy Launch.

The evening began with a minutes silence to remember those who are no longer with us which reminded us all of the significant reason we were gathered. The guests then all enjoyed a 3 course meal which was shortly followed by a performance from the band.

We would like to thank Walthamstow British Legion for a lovely evening, we were well looked after. The evening raised a lot of money for The Poppy Appeal which goes towards helping ex-veterans and their families during difficult times.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Burnham-On-Crouch Carnival

Burnham-On-Crouch Carnival has been taking place annually for the last 104 years and we were honoured to take part despite the lengthy procession. We were amongst a number of floats and groups involved in the carnival, all of which contributed to the atmosphere created by the many hundreds of people lining the streets. It was wonderful to hear the crowd singing along to some of our tunes which made it a memorable experience.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Garden Party at The Warrant Officer

Due to the typical English weather, the garden party that was meant to be held at Rob and Lesley's place was moved to The Warrant Officer pub. This however did not dampen out spirits and we put on several performances throughout the afternoon whilst enjoying the variety of food and drink served.

Music and Beer Festival at The Warrant Officer

Today David Ash and Gareth Utting, two of our pipers, performed at a music and beer festival at The Warrant Officer pub in Higham Hill, Walthamstow. There was a range of food from different cultures including Vietnamese and Caribbean along with a variety of live music acts. After their duet, the two pipers had the opportunity to play with one of the groups in a jamming session.
