I'll be at the games both days for sure, mostly being meeter-greeter at the Gordon tent. Friday nite sounds like a winner, Jim. I'll probably come from setting up the tent on the field Friday.

I finally got my calendar straightened out and it doesn't look as though I will be attending the games.
My Scottish Rite Valley is having their fall Reunion that week-end and it is a must attend for me, my Mason Brothers here on the site will understand the reason why. I hope to see some of my friends some where down the road in the near future. God Speed to all.

My wife and I will be there. This will be our first time at the SMHG and we are really looking forward to being there and to meeting folks. We will also be hanging out at the Clan MacTavish tent.

@Thomas H: YES! All the rabble are invited to meet up at the Lamont tent at 1:00 following the close of the ceremonies which usually go off at noon. That'll let the pipers and drummers get their duties attended to and still make it for a meet up, cattle reivin', whiskey tastin', lie- tellin', tartan wearin'n, kilt comparin', photo takin' good time. You can put real faces with aliases and shake some very fine hands.

You are also cordially invited to the Tavern session on Friday evening in Conyers. (Not far from Stone Mountain.) We've met there before, and it'll be a very casual event. And, the place is extremely family-friendly, so you can being kids if you like.

I know that fargor and Turpin will be there, and I think Ben (Atlanta Kiltie), and Southern Scot with his crew (4-5 kids), and several others, so this will be a fine gathering in preparation for the games. I'm hopin' Tyger and a few others I've not met will make it over on Friday as well. It's much less rushed than meeting at the games on Saturday, and we really get a great chance to chat.

It did not take much convincing to join ya'll at the Tavern Friday evening. Knowing Fragor will be attending with his ladies, I feel certain he'll be well supervised and it safe to bring me Lady. I know it's a dangerous proposition but will be following a Gordon to Conyers. Look forward to tipping an ale wid ya! Brother Dave

My lovely bride and I will not be attending this year.

Best wishes,

I am sad to hear that Kyle cannot make it, but I am equally happy to look forward to meeting the Sgt. Major and the rest of the rabble who attend.

Thanks, mate! Yeah, we just have too much going on at the moment. We were seriously entertaining the thought of going, and I had been discussing the matter with Sandy (JSFMACLJR) as well. Here's to next year! Have fun chaps.

Cheers,

I'm going to do my best to make it down for this...would be my first Highland Games! Also should be shortly after my first kilt comes in, so what better way to break it in?
