I offer the Clan MacCallum Malcolm Tent for an official XMTS Meet Up on both days @2 PM. The wee XMTS Saltire Quaich will host a warm greeting of "uisge beatha".

My understanding is they have got a great response this year and tickets are selling at a good rate, its about time this event catches on. Last year it rained on Saturnday so difficult to gauge, but Sunday it was elbow to elbow. Expect Saturday, providing weather is good, the afternoon will be busy. I hope we have nice weather, even a little rain in morning clearing by 11:oo would be fine, just like the Highlands.

I look forward to seeing you and Meg, again; and meeting your cousin Patty. I'll be sure to stop at both the SAMS and MacDonald tents on daily walkabouts.

A short note on our Burns Dinner. The Country Club has informed us due to renovations they are unavailable for us to host our event there. The Society is currently searching for an alternate place.

With all the nice places in Fredericksburg, I am sure you will find a very nice place to have the event.

I’m expecting to be there, most likely on Sat. I’ll probably be in my Morrison tartan. I hope to see you all there!

SHMBO and I were planning on going down there one day or the other, but I have looked all over the website and can't find anything about what is going on each day. Are the games and other competitions all on Sunday? What is there to do or see on Saturday, other than vendor booths and food booths? Not that they aren't worth the trip...

Do any of you folks who go there every year have any info?

Thanks,

Larry

Collin,

Thanks for the information. I sent an email to someone on the committee yesterday and when I got home they had added schedules for both days to the website. I guess all you needed to do was ask.
