As for the other; as I also tend toward the large, I like the larger sporrans like that. It works well with the tweed jacket too!

I am an Ovate in the British Druid Order. Their type of druidry suits me better, though I do like OBOD. The symbol is Awen, meaning inspiration. I know of Damh the Bard but I haven't heard him yet. Are you part of OBOD?

This sporran is big enough for a fairly chunky compact camera, wallet, glasses in a case, phone and keys. Just!

Grizzly, very nice guy. I was having difficulty ssynchronising my brain and mouth towards the end of the evening though!

Not officially a part of OBOD, but I do consider myself a pagan. I am leaning that way, but time and money is keeping me from signing up for their courses.

I am a big fan of Damh http://www.paganmusic.co.uk

That was what put me off. The BDO courses are more reasonable and you don't have to sign up straight away. I suggest you check them out, they have samples of the courses on their website. I don’t know if I can cut and paste using a tablet but they are easily found using Google. Thanks for the link. I will check it out right now.

So good to see the three of you. Lookin' good in your kilts (and glad they're not mini kilts)!

Well, you lured me in with the post title, but it was a pleasant surprise to see the three of you looking good and having a good time!

Very smart folks, sorry to have missed the meet as I was (and am still) on a wee break in Cornwall. Next time!

It took me 2 years to get here this time!

I - almost - managed to feel small standing next to those two.

It was a grand evening and the time and the ales whizzed by, thank you Mel, Anne and not forgetting Mels daughter Claire for making a very convivial evening. You wouldn't have known it was our first meeting, it seemed like a meeting of old friends.

Thank you all for your positive comments too. For info purposes my sporran was made by Donnie Hailey of Wyvern Leather and Mels was by skyravenwolf.
