Wow. Good to hear its safe. I think Grizzled Ian will have a fantastic time with it and I am sure he will be able to upload his pictures quicker than I (sorry)
No significance at all really. I had planned a grand day out with the quaich in London taking her to all of the usual sights, however, due to apalling weather and time constraints, it was not possible. So I thought where can I take it that will mean something to our members all round the globe. I though the most significant place, and the one that sort of links us all, would be The Meridian Line at The Royal Observatory. I visited all of the attractions there and had the idea of continuing my own little private quaich quest with my own quaich. I thought it would be interesting to pour from xmarks to mine to continue the link as it were. When I actually got to the meridian line and poured from one to the other it just happened to be striking 2.35.
I just thought it might be a nice thing to suggest to the members to have this as the XMarks toast. We do a similar thing in an organization I am involved with called the 9 o'clock toast where we stop and raise a glass to our global membership both past and present.
