146th Highland Games, Pleasanton, 2011

**OC Richard** · 7th August 11, 04:51 AM

Has anyone does a Pleasanton "roll call" yet?

If not, here goes!

I'll be there with the band, LA Scots, in muted Drummond of Perth kilts, black waistcoats, and black hose (I think).

I'll look something like this

Could we arrange an XMarkers' meeting?

Several will be there the entire weekend, some for just a day. The Nor Cal Rabble traditionally meets for photos each day at the MacNaughton clan tent (red & white canopy) after the parade or 1:00 p.m., whichever is later. Look for the familiar tartan.

I'll be there on Saturday.

**OC Richard** · 31st August 11, 05:27 AM

1:00 is out for me, because we play at 12:55 on Saturday and 1:05 on Sunday.

But I will try to stop by your tent! Richard

PS Looks like our kit for the weekend will be black hose, muted Drummond of Perth kilts, black sporrans, black waistcoats, black neckties, black Glengarries (boy that's a lot of black), and mid-grey longsleeved shirts. Not much colour to the kit; maybe it will make our kilts stand out??

We will be there Sat. and Sun, be arriving around 10:30 Saturday morning. We have a room, so will available for a dinner event Saturday if anyone is up for it.

I'm really looking forward to meeting a few more of the Rabble (though after numerous attempts I am now confident that Dale Seago is a computer generated member and not a real person!

)

See you all then.

I'm there SAT and SUN. My ability to meet anyone is dependent on the whims of my niece, who I'm visiting, and when the whisky tasting will be held (My ticket doesn't tell me!).

**Farlander** · 31st August 11, 12:28 PM

It looks like the misses and I should be there both days.

**Tartan Tess** · 31st August 11, 06:23 PM

Richard
you are always in trouble.
Farlander, seems you and I might be related....Ha Good thing because I am a much better kilt maker now then when you met me.

My family and I will be there all day Saturday and Sunday. I'll be in the colorguard for the opening and closing ceremonies and plan to be there for the picture as well.
