It wentto a private buyer.”Meanwhile, Board-member and biker IvanCrowe spotted yet another angelic piper in thecrypt of the cathedral in Bayeux inNormandy, where it is described as a ‘corne-muse’, proof, as Ivan remarks, that the pipesare ineed a heavenly instrument.Finally, a member, who wishes to remainanonymous,urges mem-bers who maybe visiting theWillie ClancySummerSchool thisyear not tomiss this fan-tastic offerwhich wasspotted at lastyear’s school.
