PIPE BAND CONTEST
Sir,-I should very much like to endorse the remarks made by M. L. White, and sympathise with "Bandsmen on the Outer," although the latter had a far better hearing than we who wete most interested in the Dominion Pipe Band Contest. I am a Pipe Major ef & noncompeting band, but I had to cancel my bookings for Christchurch owing to admission into hospital, and I suppose I was one of many who were disappointed in the lack of broadcasts. I was even more disappointed when I realised how much time on the air was given to the Brass Band Contest. I fully appreciate the explanations made by the NZBS, but would like to make a special plea for better arrangements to be made at all future Dominion Pipe Band Contests, both by the contest committees and the NZBS.
DISAPPOINTED
(Otaki).
