    While at the mountain helping set up, I was told we have the largest pre-games sales ever. Come early; close parking may be in short supply and the lines at the gate long. Also, entrance is
    different. Entry desk is in the nearest parking lot. The street in front of the old gate is closed and this tear holds food vendors; entry is directly across the street from the old spot, in the lot.

    We normally gather for photos at the Tartan Museum tent. I'm suggesting two PM both Saturday and Sunday.

    I'll try to be at the games tomorrow, but I will have family in town and I'm not sure how long I can hang around. I'll do my best to get to the Tartan Museum tent at 2!

    I was able to convince my parents to come, but unfortunately my elderly father had had enough by 1 and I wasn't going to force him to stay an extra hour. I hope everyone had a great time, I know my folks did enjoy their first games.

    My apologies to one and all. Usually I am working all around the grounds during set-up. This year, I was mostly setting up VIP parking, and didn't see where the Tartan Museum had been relocated, and in fact was told it would be in close proximity to its past location. It wasn't, of course, and when I inquired at the information table, I was told they didn't come. Surprising,
    but at least 16 vendors paid but didn't come. Both the tent and I were on the grounds at two, but in different places. About four I ran into Lamar, very upbeat at having sold 5 sporrans
    to the museum. Sunday was there at two with a card saying XMarks. No bites. My failure; again, apologies. As to the Friday night Conyers gathering, all attempts to get a response from
    the Tavern about meeting and also continuing Burns suppers there have yielded no response.

    Sounds like this turned out to be a proper comedy of errors
    Our AGM was moved to 2pm at the last minute so I was also unable to meet as well. Thanks for working the games, our clan enjoyed both days immensely and the turnout looked great. I got to hang out with Ed Murray(long time SMHG volunteer) for quite some time on Sunday, very cool guy.

    I hated to miss the games and my friends this year; I hope to make it next year!
