    Thinking that either Vancouver, BC, or somewhere in either Oregon or Washington state... Air travel is more of a hassle for me than it's worth, and, since I'm in between jobs, the financial situation isn't so great currently. Hopefully will be better later this coming year, though.

    Annual Gathering

    Another idea, I understand the "non-kilt friendly city" idea, but if we're going to get together why spend the time marching down the street, etc. Why not pick one of the major highland games, (well in advance,) and meet there, (a different venue each year.) It would be a great opportunity to go to another games and there'd be plenty to do and see kilt-related and otherwise. I like the idea of doing it across the pond every other year, but realisticly that may be pie in the sky. Doing it every year may insure that it continues. Just my humble opinion.

    Annual Kilt Event

    I like the highland game idea. The one at Fergus is largest and close to Toronto. Will need to rent a car or make arrangements with an Ontario forum member. This could reduce and simplify the event planning. There are small cities near Fergus that have good accomodation such as Guelph and Kitchener
    as well as Stratford and Fergus also.
