New games this April (18th) in Pensacola www.pensacolahighlandgames.com. We hope to be there with our bird of prey programs.

Interesting.

Anyone know if there's going to be a pipe band competition? It doesn't say so on the site, and it's not listed on the EUSPBA or SUSPBA pages, so I'm guessing there won't be.

Did you guys to the Tampa Bay Ren Fest this year? Always impressed with the falconeering demonstration there.

No, we are at other venues.

Iain, are you planing on a trip to the games at Penscola?
Where in Central Florida are you? I'm in Astatula out near Leesburg.
I will be making the trip up for sure.

Probably not. If there was a pipe band competition, it's more likely I would have gone, hitching a ride with my daughters, who are in a band (piper and swing tenor). But Pensacola is a good drive from Sanford, where I'm at.

I've also been a bit disappointed with Games so far this year. Vendors -- understandably -- are quite a bit fewer, and that's the second reason I go to games, after hearing the pipes. Seems like a bad year to start up Games, but I wish 'em luck.
