Welcome to the Europe Sub-Forum

Looks like I get to make the first post to this new sub-forum.

Welcome to all of the other kilted rabble in this part of the world.

Don't forget the Highland Games in Peine, Germany, on the first weekend in May!

Regards,

Tom

Peine is a bit to far for me, but would be nice to be there. Maybe in Prague which is much closer.

Peine would be a pain for me to get to, but as we have demonstrated before, European meet ups can be possible, I've already met members from Germany, Norway, and Holland when some of you have visited Scotland and I met up with a French based x-marker last time I was in Spain!

Mipi,

I went to a Highland Games north of Prague last August. Don't remember the name of the place. Unfortunately, it rained all day. Have you been there before?

I may try to go again this year. The site was very beautiful.

Hmmm - over there there are sub forums for states and provinces and we get one for a whole continent....

Trefor,

You should post your suggestion for more sub sections in Hank's thread introducing this new forum with your request.

Personally I think there should be a UK section as separate from the European continent.

Cheers

Jamie

I have had so many X Markers and other kilties visit me (plus Graham from

Tasmania coming in May and Steve Ashton from Victoria BC following him in June) that I feel there should be a Storrington section!

Take care,
Ham.

I wasn't going to say it but it does look as though we've been short-dealed over here. I'm surprised P1M hasn't requested a Ferintosh forum yet, especially if we are to get a Storrington one!

I am trying to come up with a sensible answer to your poignant question. I have failed thus far.
