Nor Cal Highland Games Cancelled

[Alan H]

The word from 1.) the LAPRD, 2.) the Campbell Games and 3.) My re-enactor connections is that..

1. Livermore Games..May
2. Campbell Games... June
3. Dunsmuir Games... July

...are all cancelled this year. We've known that Livermore is gone for some time. The 105 degree heat last year killed the Gate on Sunday, I'm sure they lost their shirt. There are no signs of life on the Campbell Games website, and apparently Dunsmuir just got canned last week. There may be a small group trying to organize something for one day, we'll see.

You might put this on the calendar.

I am planning on being at the Santa Cruz Ren Festival with my Guild, doing at least some of the Heavy Athletics.

The Woodland Games are still "on"....April 24-25

and if you want to drive to Bakersfield on April 10th you can see those Games (come to Tartan Day at Ardenwood, instead).

The next Central California Games won't be until Monterey, which I believe is on August 10-11th....Well, that's not true, Modesto is in June, but for the athletes, that's by invitation only as the field is really small and I'm not "in good" with the Athletic Director so I doubt I'll be throwing.

As you can imagine from looking at my training log and how hard I am working, I am NOT happy about this. I think I'll be flying up to Enumclaw again at the end of July and will by flying down to Costa Mesa at the end of May.
