BC Highland Games
With the BC Games coming up fairly soon, curious if any of the rabble will be attending...any plans to meet up? I don't know the venue at all so can't make any suggestions.

Not this year, perhaps next.
I've always wanted to come up for both the Victoria & Vancouver games.

I will be attending with some of my personal rabble - not sure on numbers yet, but at a minimum my 10 year old son and I will be there... kilted, of course!

Beer garden, 1:00PM. I'll be the guy in the kilt.

A "real" kilt, Mike?
A "tall" chap in a "real" kilt, then?
A "big 'n tall" lad in a "real" kilt -- with sunshades?
A "juggernaut" of a man a large "real" kilt, sunshades and...?
Well. now, a bit more information would be helpful when we have to meet you in that mass of humanity.

It's a plan...see you there. And unlike Rex (too) I'm fairly certain that I'll be able to pick you out of the crowd in the beer garden. Course at that time of the day most won't be horizontal yet, so if might be a bit more of a challenge

Looks like I've got the 'go ahead' so I'll try and find that tent for 1pm.

One o'clock. Hmmmm. I'm working in the Simon Fraser University tent for the last couple of hours in the morning, and I have a memorial to attend for a dear old friend in the mid-afternoon. In between a pint with you lot sounds very satisfying.
Mike, so I will know you on sight: what tartan will you be wearing? I've chosen Skye for Saturday -- my friend was born near Portree.

Not sure yet. If I wear one of my camos you may never find me.
