So, we’re looking at setting up a pipes and drums at wing level, we’re south of the boarder and I’m unsure if there are any pipe bands not located in SNI.
I understand there is a RAFAC Tartan, kilts, the whole shabang!
If a wing has their own pipes and drums are they able to order kilts through the uniform ordering or would we have to reach out to SNI and see if they’ve got anything for us?
Cheers.
It’s all private purchase. So you would have to pay for the correct pattern kilts out of your own funds, includes all the accessories etc. jacket et al
Also you need approval from some OC Pipes and Drums to wear the highland kit.
Great, thank you. It’s a long way off yet but I wanted to know the correct channels before I start emailing the wrong people.
19/XIX used to have a full on pipes and drums set up. Might be worth reaching out to them for some connections.
19 / XIX is Crawley Sqn if I’m correct isn’t it?
Yes, indeed. No clue if they still do pipes and drums, but certainly used to, a lot!
Thank you, I appreciate it I’ll get an email over to them!
