    Jacksonville, FL area games?

    I'm new to this area, and wondering about games in the NE FL/ SE GA area.
    Has anyone been to the NEFL games in Feb? I can't find any info on their website. It looks like it's in a parking lot... ugh.
    Is there any camping/ceildh action at this games.
    Also -- any clue about a Burns Night or other kilted outings around here?

    Slainte mhath.

    I really don't know a whole lot about the games, but I DO KNOW that there's entertainment!

    I'm hoping that the weather will be infinitely better than the Northeast come February. It will be a nice break from the harsh cold and snow... especially when you're wearing a kilt!!!!!!!

    See you there.

    Larry Henderson (Tampa, FL) from NWC & Clan Henderson Society told me once that they were good games and have had some major attendance in the past.

    There is i'm sure quite a few games there (FL) in the winter. I know there's one in Ft. Lauderdale in Jan. 11th and 12th I think.
