Loch Norman/Grandfather Mountain Highland Games

My motley crew will be in attendance at Loch Norman again this year, and we'll be camping in the tilted pasture as usual. We're hard to miss...look for a tent under a sprawling silver tarp, a flagpole with

and an arrow weathervane. Barclay has threatened to camp with us this year.

Yeah...he's housebroken as far as I can tell.

I'll be sure to stock up on Canuck beer, then. I have a large group of friends coming from Ontario, I'll make sure to put in an order.

I am going to try really hard to be at Loch Norman. Clan Hay (my clan) is the featured clan this year. If I make it I'll be at the Clan Hay tent most of the time. My family already have camping reservations at GMHG. I'll be in and out of Clan Hay tent there also.

Just bumping...

I will be at the Friday night Call of the Clans, and at the Games all weekend. During the day, the House of Lumsden tent will be pleased to serve as home base for XMarks members. If you need a place to store something, a place to sit and rest, or if you feel the urge to feed and water the Lumsdens (mind your fingers), please come on by!

I live near the games site, so I will not be camping, but I normally hang out at the camp site anyway, as it's usually the best place to be.

alrighty then, thats good to know.

Well, drat. MadBagpiper's band is playing in the National Cathedral in DC that weekend. With him out of the picture I may not be going to Loch Norman after all.

If the Gordon tent is next to Lumsden like last year, I'll have two places to stash my stuff. Looking forward to it. I need to get my camping reservations.

It's beginning to look like there will be no Lumsden tent at Grandfather this year. Terry, our convener, cannot make it to the Games,a nd that lives me on my own. I can do the work, but I can't afford the costs, and the Clan are not ponying up the fees, so far.

I'll still be at Grandfather, however! Someone has to keep those MacVillagers in line!
