    uiach Signing

    After a fond link re-visit to the great send-off for the Quaich from Victoria all those years ago, may I suggest we do it again during the Victoria Highland Games in British Columbia, May 19, 20, 21? That's the weekend of the Queen's birthday celebration, too (Queen Victoria, by birth date, but in Canada we recognise this as a national holiday for our beloved Queen Elizabeth, as well).

    Now I know that Steve and Bobbie will be far too busy at the Games to arrange this with all they are committed to do at the Games already, but we have other members in Victoria. Perhaps Macman: you might call us together? Could this also be a time to bury old bones? Maybe pipe us to a Quaich Signing?

    And from there: I suggest the Quaich continue on its way to Kilt Kamp 2019 in the USA (July 21, etc.) and from there by rush to Jock in Lochaber. He could spend a few days with it and then bring it a bit north to meet me (again) at to the Highland Field Sports at Moy Hall (August 2 and 3), and either together or separately, Jock and I could take it on tours of Lochaber, Badenoch, Strathdearn, Culloden....

    And it may be that we could entice Peter Macdonald and others in Scotland to join us at Moy .

    Just suggestions, of course, and where The Quaich goes from Canada, USA, Scotland maybe we need confirmed dates and occasions, not just "I would love to host"?

    If we don't have a schedule beyond September, I am more than happy to bring The Quaich back to its home in British Columbia when I return sometime late in the Fall.
