I am glad you can say that. My new kilt left Toronto at 9:08 AM Jan. 16 and has not been heard of since. There was supposed to be tracking on it but evidently the USPS no longer updates its tracking site. The only info I have on it is from the Canadian Post tracking site where it say left the country at 9:08.

I am certainly looking forward to the pictures of this event!

All 1 1/2" of snow has caused the library where we hold our local Scottish Society meetings to close for today, so we have postponed the Annual Meeting till our Burns Night on Saturday to elect our 2014 officers. Not to be without a venue for the XMTS Quaich to make its debut a group of us diehards are meeting a Park Lane Tavern tonight. So if you are in the area we gather around 6:30 PM.

Don't worry Hawk it will happen with pics!

Ern you are always on your toes, to keep things kicking along. One door shuts and you open another. Look forward to photos of the debut.
Cheers

Ern....If we shut things done here for a snowfall of 1.5", we be shutdown much of the winter.... haha

Looking forward the Quaich's adventure... - A tavern sounds like a better venue to test drive it than a library anyway!

Cheers...Bill

With our snowfall all 1 ½” inches of it on Tuesday, our library where our local Scottish Society meets had closed. The XMTS Quaich had arrived the day before and the Society meeting was to be her debut.

As fate would have it a little snow didn’t prevent some Society members to take advantage of having the evening to meet at Park Lane Tavern.

Park Lane at its predecessor The Pub at Fredericksburg has been a frequent place where I have shared photos of the Rabble on XMTS. It was appropriate then for Park Lane to be the place of debut of XMTS Quaich.

Photographed here is manager Mark and bar server Michelle a frequent face adorning many of my past photos. I explained to them the story of the XMTS Quaich and her journeys. As Park Lane was well know by the kilted community of X Marks the Scot dot com it was fitting for us to be here at PLT having the debut of the XMTS Quaich. Impressed, and pleased Mark donated the PLT bar towel to accompany our Quaich on her journeys!

Michelle set us up with several single malt flights for us to properly welcome our Quaich! A group photo of the assembly: Larry, Chuck, Linda, Sarah, Bob (XMTS – Glasgow), Ern (MC).
