    Never approach a bull from the front, a horse from the rear, or a fool from any direction.

    Maybe we can work up a Xmarks meet-up and picture to kick off the return of MTHG

    Sounds good. I will be running hither and yon, according to the chief organizer, but I'll check with him about the layout, where we could meet and get back on here to set a place.

    It was great to meet you at the games. I just got home from the Kirking of the Tartans and helping to pack the last of the tents.

    We left the Hermitage in great shape, although the staff may be a little confused by the divots in the ground from the games or the linear lines left in the grass from the beer and food lines.


    Perfect Weather.

    Cool and Sunny with just a little breeze.

    Perfect Venue.

    Nice and easy to get to, with plenty of shade,

    We had a very good turnout. The thing I liked was that we were close to the athletes with the announcer providing commentary and explanations of the event. Some records were broken. i will post specifics and pictures later.

    The music was exceptional and every thing was easy to see and hear.

    We had lots of positive feed back from visitors.

    Next year should be even better.
