It's not on their website yet - probably tomorrow, judging by what is there.
He had been NPS president for the last 3 years, had just been re-elected for a further term, and was looking forward to improving health for the summer.
So far a couple of memorial events have been proposed: a "president's day" in May down near Salisbury, and a concert in Morpeth in October. Pipers have played his favourite tune - Archie's Fancy, by Billy Pigg - in his memory.
There's a copy of Cocks & Bryan on ebay at present - the original edition.
