| | | Stray SOK in Georgia
I'll be down in Peachtree City and Newnan for the next two and a half months on business, and I'ld like the chance to meet some Georgian XMarkers (especially since I didn't meet anyone on my trip to Atlanta a couple of years back).
I see that NorCalPiper may be celebrating the Grand Opening of Skye Highland Outfitters the first weekend of June, and Turpin PM'ed me about the Blairsville Highland Games the following weekend.
Are there any other events in June or July I should keep an eye out for?

Brian | Yes, it leaves us all weak and begging for more. Come on down!
I think we will be having a kilt night in late June. Check with Atlanta Kiltie. Or keep an eye on the kilt night forum.

Hi Wompet,
We generally have SEKS the third weekend of the month and I believe the next is scheduled for June 20th at the Harp in Roswell. I look forward to meeting you.

If you make your way up to Northeast GA while here (it's a good 2 hours from Peachtree City) let us know. Paddy's has some great Guinness and Chicken wings.

We'll be a the Molly MacPherson's in Richmond Hill, meeting at 6 pm on the 13th.

Ken, thanks for the invite. But the Richmond Hill night is the same day as Blairsville. Of the two, Blairsville is about an hour closer, so that one is a little more likely.

I will be showing up, bar another gas leak from my dad's car 
About three people coming... Should some of us car pool? I live in Flowery Branch. Blairsville is quite a jog, although the drive is always pleasant
