CORPS News Bulletin: (August 28, 2014)
CORPS-30yr-Logo-one inch.jpg
The executive committee of the Conclave of Richmond Pipe Smokers announce that this 30th annual Pipesmokers’ Exposition and Celebrationwill be our last expo. We have worked tirelessly over these years to provide the pipesmoking and pipecollecting community with what has become known as the ‘don’t miss show of the pipe year’. Ours is the longest running continuous annual show in the world, and to many people, ‘simply the best in the world’.
This decision has not come easily, as you can imagine. We have discussed this at great length over many months. In spite of the fun and great camaraderie that we local members have enjoyed for so long, our show requires exhausting work by many people and we for several years have discussed ‘taking a break’. We believe that now is the time.
We thank all of our many supporters from around the entire world for their 30 years of support. Without you the show would not have evolved to become ‘the best’ in the world. We are so humbled and so grateful for all of your contributions to the world of pipesmoking and pipecollecting and for being with us here in Richmond, Virginia, USA.
We will continue to be an active local club (you’re welcome anytime!)and look forward to attending and supporting the other pipesmokers’ events around this great world of ours, as you have supported our events.
We invite you to come and be a part of THIS 30th Celebration(October 10, 11, & 12, 2014),to gather one last time with our pipe smoking friends and to be a part of this momentous event!
R.B. Metcalf, President
