If you get here EARLY on the 31st, I *THINK* that is Beer and Kilts night at the Devils Canyon Brewery. It will be wild, 'cause it will be Halloween. It's about a 2 1/2 hour drive from Asilomar up to where we meet, though.

but if you make it, the first pint's on me!

One of these years you should try the workshop at Fort Warden, on the Puget Sound. It's sponsered by the Seattle RSCDS, and is help at Fort Warden, near portl Townsend. We stay in officer housing, and it is just a wonderful event.

I think (and with all due respect to Marvel Comics) the call is ...

NOR CAL RABBLE ASSEMBLE!

Cheers

That sounds fantastic. Diane was born in Seattle so I've heard a lot about Puget Sound. Maybe she and I will be able to head out for that one, too. (Each year the dance group does Portland, Oregon and Asilomar. I don't think they'd mind adding another North West one!)

Who are your group? I just "retired" as president of the Portland club.

The group is The Thistle and Ghillies, Boise, Idaho. The teachers were Monica and Cheri and my wife Diane has just become the third teacher.
I know she's danced with the Portland group when she lived in Oregon and went to the last workshop in Portland a few months ago.

Small world!

I remember Diane. We love the Boise group. They "make" our workshop and ball. Tell them all to prepare for March 12th. It is our 30th. The musicians will be Muriel Johnstone and Callum McKenna, and we have some hot teacher, one of whom is Muriel's husband. Big doings in bridge town.

What a small world!
I just spoke to Diane and she remembers both you and your husband. (Apparently he took lots of pictures, had a wonderful conversation with her and had lots of medals all over his jacket.)

She also informed me that T&G are all set to go in March and that they are going to be inviting all of the Portland group to their St. Andrew's day ball this year!
