Lady Chrystel at Highland games !

[Ancienne Alliance]

By the end of next year, Lady Chrystel will be eligible for a grant that would pay half her expenses on a promotional trip to a highland game.

We have tons of papers to fill out but it would be great to travel and have a stand presenting her work!

Of course I would have to be with her to help her out with the English…

Now my question is this : What would be the best one to attend ?

In the United Kingdom, I think England perhaps would be more interesting than Scotland… There are quite nice games near London. Maybe Hamish could remind me its name.

How about the US ?

How about Canada ?

The people we deal with are open to all suggestions. We just have to make the best one !


Thank you,

This indeed is good news, I've got a few suggestions for you. Firstly for Ontario Canada I'd say you really have two choices Fergus,or Glengarry. I might even look at the Loch Norman Games in North Carolina or perhaps the Grandfather Mountain Games .

Thank you Glen

I was lusting on Grandfather Mountain's of course but I just wonder if its the right place... Perhaps.


Best,

Robert

Of course I am biased, but the Stone Mountain Highland Games is always good as well. But from where you are, a games in England or Scotland might be a great introduction!

Robert - you might want to ask Matt Newsome at the Scottish Tartans Museum for his opinion. He attends most of the larger games on the East Coast of the USA.

It's good there are grants available for you to travel to a Highland Games/Gathering to promote her quality kilts.. I am sure you will find the most fitting event to spread her craft even more, around the world. What ever event you choose, will be the best one possible.

No matter were you go I am sure you will have a great time.

Glengarry would be my vote, then combine it with Montreal the following day so you will have both English and French. Glengarry is North Americas Largest.

Congrats on the grant, you can not beat the Hawaii Highland Games for weather.

That's exciting news, congratulations! I would push for my local Games but Vista, while a lovely venue, is quite small; Orange County is a dull venue (industrial-flavor fairgrounds); and the one you would think would be fabulous -- the Queen Mary! -- is really horrid. I am always jealous of the photos posted from other lovely Games sites.

I'm sure you will have a warm reception where ever you decide to venture!
