Loch Lomond Highland Games (Calif.) October 6th.

**Panache** · 2nd October 07, 07:42 AM

I took a look at the website and there isn't any schedule of events or shows that I could see. It's a small games so it shouldn't be too hard to find people.

w2f could we designate the Mclaren tent as meeting place?

Cheers

I see no problem using the MacLaren tent as a place to check in and out. (I love making "executive" decisions - on the bases of no information and no authority.

) Also, I'll bring the other shade tent and a couple chairs. It can be setup somewhere close by. Anyone who can, should bring a chair or two.

The forecast is for mostly sunny, mid-70's. It's likely to be a perfect day for the games.

I'm up for going out to dinner afterwards. The dinner actually at the site is nice, and Michael and Co. did a good job last year, but after being outside all day long I think I'd like to go sit down and chow down in a restaurant this year.

Any suggestions?

BTW, my friend Victoria and her son will be there, so don't give way all my secrets, OK?

Not very Scottish, but ABC Chinese in Scotts Valley is pretty reasonable and good fare (not to mention close). I think we would be up to dinner afterward.

Of course there are many cool possibilities if we head down the road to Santa Cruz!

Ever thought of setting up an X-Marks clan tent? We send Steve down to sell t-shirts.

Oh, Lord, I'd totally forgotten the Trout Farm...

I went there as a kid...Le'ts go to the Trout Farm!!!! $10-$15 a head for dinner.

As for X-Marks Clan Tents...no can do. We've been over that road already on this board. However, if a tent happens to appear, and people hang out at it that happen to participate at X-marks, no harm done. But we can't "officially" represent X Marks the Scot.

I'm there Alan!

Be well,

Dinner after the games (incl. my tent striking duties) sounds good to me.

But I have to ask... What do the trout raise on their farm?

OK, OK....turns out that Casey DID get the Clan MacNaughton tesnt stuff from Gene and Ruth, but the e-mails went awry. I'm making panic'ced last-minute phone calls to see if we can get a space for the tent at the 9th hour. I should know later this morning and will uupdate this thread.
