    It's a good idea, Chase.

    Given how many monthly local gatherings are already held, though, plus other occasions to meet (e.g., Celtic events) maybe something more like every 2-3 years might be better to consider?

    Well, I thought about that and in fairness was going to propose, that we maintain the annual, but host it on the other side of the pond for our UK XMTS and others...That way, it would be every two years in North America and every two years in the UK.

    Just a thought.

    This last summer we at Freedom Kilts held Kilt Kamp. A gathering of X Marks members and the public where we got together and talked and learned about kilts. Barb Tewksbury was the featured kiltmaker and she taught three new apprentices.
    The event was a full five days for Barbs course and a three day weekend for those who just wanted to come and be part of the fun.
    We are planning Kilt Kamp 2008 and would hope it could be held at The Scottish Tartans Museum. We don't want to intrude on the Storrington Gathering though, so we may have to postpone till 2009.

    Our plan was to hold it on alternate coasts each year. Stay tuned for further details.

    I wear the kilt because:
    Swish + Swagger = Swoon.
