Well guys its coming around again and will soon be on us, the UK national pipe smoking championships will be held on Sunday June 10th 07 at the Old Silhillians rugby club Knowle Solihull Birmingham UK, this years pipe is a Northern briars hand made Bulldog from one of the best up and coming UK carvers Ian Walker. The tobacco has yet to be decided.The entrance fee which includes the pipe will stay at £25 per person. Those of you who attended last year will get your application form through the post by the end of Feb early March (I hope),those of you who have never attended before and wish to enter contact me with your address so I can send you the forms.Places are limited to a maximum of 50 people smoking though we may be able to push this to 55 if demand requires.
I hope to see you there for what should be a great day.....
