Thanks,

Still looking forward to it, count me as one. Unfortunatly Corey has a gig with the Rogues so he (nor his fiddle) won't be attending.

Hadn't considered Corey and his fiddle, but now that he isn't come I can't help but think how good it would have been to have him (and his fiddle).

Pete, should I bring that tartan yardage for you?

Ack! Disappointment that I won't get to meet the infamous Corey that is so nicely talked about! T minus 10 days until I go to Canada and I still have no idea what I'm going to do about exchanging money. I can't make my mind up on just drawing the money out of my checking account the day before I am to leave and exchange in cash, or if I should just using my RBC USA card at a branch and withdraw as soon as I cross into Canada.

Decisions, decisions, decisions. Because in theory (depending upon how up to it I am and the weather) Niagara Falls is a possibility.

There are bank machines on every corner of every street in Canada. Your bank card should work in all of them.

Since Hunting MacLeod has all but disbanded he has been very busy touring the States with both Coyote Run and Scottish Rogues. Chances are that you'll see him before I and he lives only 5 minutes from me!

But Duchess, on the bright side you still get to meet Grant!

Kevin has asked me to get a final, or at least a close to final number of those attending.
Here is what I've gleaned so far, if you are not on this list please speak up. I'm going to list both your real name and screen name.

1. MacHummel-Peter
2. Sandie
3. Hendry-David (not sure about Christine, Dave please advise)
4. ccga3359-Grant
5. Improv1-Dick
6. Lisa
7. Wompet-Gary
8. Uncle Ricky-Rick (Not sure if you'll be bringing your lovely wife, but if you would let us know that would be great)
9. Duchess ofNC-Cathrine
10. McMurdo-Glen
11. Ronnie O'Byrne-Ronnie (said he was coming on the 2nd page of the thread, but he has not said anything since, Ronnie, if you are out there please confirm.)
12. St. John's 104 said he'd be there and will bring his guitar.

That is it for X-mark members, I did invite a couple of friends, Mark and Joan, hopefully they will both be able to come. Joan suffered a mild stroke on New Years Day, so it may just be Mark, however Joan is looking forward to it. I've been trying to confirm from them and will let you know here if they can both come.

On top of all that, I advertised it on the RSCDS Toronto website, and have had some interest there, one call was for a couple, and another call was asking for up to 5 tickets, that would bring the number up to 20 however I would really think we are closer to 15. Kevin I will get you the final numbers by the 19th.

**Hendry** · 12th January 09, 06:33 AM

I will unfortunately be coming alone, Christine will be at home with the boys preparing for our 4 am departure to airport Saturday morning, our plane leaves for Cuba at 7:00. I will see if I can't talk her into next years.
