Any 2020 Games NOT cancelled?

[OC Richard]

My one COVID 2020 Highland Games hope has been mostly dashed, the Moab Utah Games, coming up in a few weeks.

The Games were fairly small already, but being as everything in California is cancelled I was going to make the long drive and visit them for my first time. That would give me two Games in 2020, the Queen Mary Games back in February and Moab in November.

But the Highland Dancing competition was cancelled, and just the other day I found out the solo piping and drumming and Pipe Band competitions were all cancelled too.

As a piper, the thing I most enjoy at Games is the solo piping and Pipe Band competitions. If a Games is so small as to not have these I have little interest.

So sorry to say I've cancelled my hotel reservations and Moab will be just another thing that I'll put off until some unknown time in the future.

BTW my drive mileage to Moab (from Tustin) is almost identical to that from Portsmouth to John O'Groats. (I think my drive time is faster because I don't have road works issues.)



I know people in the UK will go that distance to attend a Games, because at Bridge Of Allan there was a band which had made the trip from Jersey!
