Okay less than a week away!! What's the price per person?!?

Fact is, I've been more than a bit slack this last week. I'll know by tomorrow night what the final deal is. I'm sure it'll be reasonable, but I'll get Holly to commmit and post it by tomorrow night. You can call her directly to make reservations.

I'll post all the info tomorrow evening, I promise.

I have been working on the program, though, and that's about set. All I need are a couple of you guys to take part. We need:

* a female responder to the Toast to the Lassies,
* someone to do the Selkirk Grace before the meal,
* a piper if any of you play (not a really gig, just pipe in the haggis)
* someone to recite or read, "To a Haggis" as we salute the beast.

I am planning the Immortal Memory myself, but if someone else is really hot to do it, I'll be glad to pass it off. We can swap with the "Haggis" poem.

Come one guys, it's time to pony up. I'm counting on a very good time, and you will enjoy it all the more if you take part.

BTW, I can forward the program draft if you have Publisher to open it. Just PM me, and it'll be right along.

OK Jim,

I've PM'd you but I wanted to post so others can know the details also.

I and my Wife will be there.

I'll do the Selkirk Grace if that is still open.

If a Piper cannot be found, I have a ton of Scottish .mp3's I can bring to play on the pubs sound system or if someone else has a system they can bring. I've got several appropriate Rabbie Burns tunes by Eddie Reader and some instrumentals of the same songs as well as Bro's and Butter which I believe is usually used to pipe in the Haggis. Just a fall back suggestion if a Piper does not turn up.

I'll be at a gymnastics meet in Dahlonega in the AM so I'm not sure how early I will be there, but I will be there before the event gets into full swing.

Join in on this inaugural event lads, as this is the first of many kilt nights in Georgia.
