I intend to attend, and will set up a tent for the Clan MacIntyre Association.

I heard today that the games have been cancelled due to lack of sponsoship.can anyone substantiate this?. What a huge shock this morning for this kind of news. I've been taking bagpipe lessons from the bayou city pipes and drums since may last year and was hoping to be initiated into the band in time for this.

Is the band going to the Texas Scottish Festival in Arlington on the first weekend in June?

The HHGA Board approved canceling the May 2011 Games/Festival at its January 12th meeting. It seems this action was taken primarily due to an inability to populate key committee positions, and line up corporate funding in time. They are still planning to have the games in 2012 though.

In place of that big hole that the non-games will create, I suggest a whiz-bang Kilt Night Out that Saturday that the games won't be.
