Didn't go today because of the rain. But I will be going tomorrow in my Irish National, and both of my boys (6 & 9) will be there in their Blackwatch! I will check this post tomorrow before we go. Let me know who will be there and when.

Hello Captain!

Well, ScottishRebel will be on duty at gate 8 from noon to 2pm and later.
Myself, SR and my wife will be here and there, all in Watson.

We'll look out for you and your sons.

Matt
