Pleasanton Highland Gathering and Games

[Oberlander]

I'm sure you will have a great time!

I've been attending these Games since the 1970s, before they were held at Pleasanton.

I'll be there with the Long Beach Fire Department Pipe Band.

It can get very hot- over 100f some years, usually at least between 80f and 90f- with scorching sun, so sun-block, cool comfortable clothes, and a wide-brimmed hat are recommended.

Here's a thread from a few years ago, scroll down the page to see a group photo of a number of XMarkers

Here are SailorTats and Yours Truly at Pleasanton a couple years ago, if you spot me definitely come up and say "howdy"! That's our band kit so I will be dressed just like that. (Well, the band kit has a Glengarry, but I wear a big hat when we're not playing.)



BTW my Father-in-Law attended university in Switzerland and lived in Bern for a time. He studied Engineering and worked at a local Engineering firm there after he graduated.

Looking forward to it, OC Richard! I'll keep an eye out for your band. A few weeks ago, Bern was almost as hot as California!
