CANTERBURY CALEDONIAN SOCIETY HIGHLAND PIPE BAND CENTENNIAL CELEBRATIONS (1902-2002)
At 1.00am on a December Sunday morning in the Canterbury Caledonian Society Hall, the stayers were 'unwinding' after a most successful weekend in celebrating the centenary of the Canterbury "Cale". It was then that the worthy editor of this Magazine asked me if I would pen a few lines about the Celebrations. Who am I to refuse, especially after continuously trying to fight off that 'Famous' Highland moor bird all weekend. A reviewer would be making continuous notes and here am I armed only with only the programmes of the Dinner and Concert plus many happy memories.
51 years service to Pipe Bands and the piping movement in Canterbury was recognised in the New Years Honours, with the Queens Service Medal being awarded to Noelene Keller.
