With the retirement of the Branch Press Officer Mervyn McConnell in November, the association has been looking to find a replacement and it has now been confirmed that Gail Graham has taken up the post.
Gail, from Rathfriland, is currently a piper in Aughintober Pipe Band from Castlecaulfield.
Gail says, “It is an honour to take on this role and I have a hard person to follow as Mervyn was always out on the prowl and first to inform people of much needed pipe band news. I would appeal to all pipe band fanatics to please keep me up-to-date with all information and I will do my best to get the information out there. You can contact me on gail.graham47@yahoo.co.uk or 07738787043′”.
Gail’s column will appear in local newspapers around Northern Ireland.
