Alex, I am curious how the Ventura Games compares to the Games you're familiar with in Scotland...

Grand pics, you had the Wicked Tinkers? lucky, I love their music and have all the cds, but have still not had the pleasure of seeing them live.

I am sorry I haven't been on X-marks for some time.
I was at Seaside Games on Saturday with my youngest boy and went back solo on Sunday. Which prompted me to write.

On Sunday, I said a brief hello to BigDad1 who pointed me in the direction of two x-markers.

I had the privilege of meeting LAScotswoman and Cessna152towser at their Clan Tent. I had a wonderful chat with them and a lot of laughs, Thank you for the memorable time we shared it was the highlight and the "Tonic o' my day"!

Cheers and a' the best-Aye Andy

Andy, sorry we missed connecting but I'm glad you had the chance to meet Alex!

Hi Sydnie-
I am sorry I missed you too.
I was going to stop at Dargans after the Games on Saturday, to see if I could meet up with all of You.
I ended up staying after for the concert with Bad Haggis and The Tinkers and got chilled to the bone and went awa hame. Next Year, I hope!

Alex, I am curious how the Ventura Games compares to the Games you're familiar with in Scotland...

Ventura was comparable in size with a big international games in Scotland, such as the North Berwick Games. Ventura had a lot more clan tents, also the Clan March is a particularly emotive part of the games which is all too rarely done in Scotland.
