			Texas Scottish Festival, May 11 - 13, 2018
		
			
				
					I see that the TSF has found a new site for the event —  Decatur, TX (25 miles NW of Fort Worth and 45 miles NW of Dallas).
 I wonder if this new site will affect attendance dramatically? Seems like it could be a boon for Decatur (population 6,648).
 
 I'll be curious to see how this turns out!
 
 Who else will be there?
 
 Cheers,

					I'll be there. Interesting to see how the new venue turns out.

					Unfortunately, I'll have to pass. I'll be preping for racing at COTA the next weekend. Hopefully the "crowd" will support the move.

					This is a venue that Jerry McIntyre convenes for CMA, with other MacIntyres assisting, as I have not been able to go in several years.
 Will you be convening for the Maxwells, Shaun?

 I was never a big fan of the UTA venue, but worry that the move to Decatur will negatively impact turnout. Guess we’ll find out in May!
 
 That said, I’m looking forward to it no matter where it is.
 
 Guess you’ll be working out of state again during the event this year?

					I won't be there.  The Arlington venue worked well as I had other things to do in the DFW area.

					Well you do pass through DFW to get there, but that is not always a fun thing to do.
 It is close enough for me I will drive back and forth, it 47 miles from DFW airport

 NW = Northwest
 UTA = University of Texas at Arlington
 DFW = Dallas-Fort Worth
 CMA = Clan MacIntyre Association
 TSF = Texas Scottish Festival
 COTA = Circuit of the Americas
 
 Hope that clears things up a bit!
