David, is J. Peasemold Gruntfuttock attending with you as well? If so, could you get his autograph for me? He's a personal hero.

Everyone who applied in advance for their entry programmes to The Gathering will probably have received an E-mail advising that further delays at the printers (and a possible postal workers strike), has caused a change of plan. The programmes will NOT now be mailed out and we must collect them at the entry gate. What is not stated, but is on their website ( http://www.harpenden-lions.co.uk/highland-gathering.php ), is that you should take your PayPal receipt together with the Credit Card used for the transaction, and present them at the gate. One presumes that they might be refunding the postal charge, although that is not stated either!

'X Marks the Scot' Meeting point

Since we are not able to see a plan of the Gathering site in Rothamsted Park until we get our hands on te programmes, I am suggesting that we all meet up at the same spot as last year. That is, on the hill which overlooks the Main Arena (to the left of the arena as you approach it from the entry gate). I will be there within minutes of 10.00am, and Derek is bringing his beautiful fretwork 'X Marks the Scot.com' sign - so look out for that. Since there is little or no shelter from the weather in the park, I would suggest also that some form of protection from inclement weather would be a good idea, especially if current weather conditions prevail until 8th July!!

I am off to Oban, via The Ferintosh in Dumfries, on Thursday and so will be off-line until 4th July. If there are any further developments regarding The Harpenden Gathering, I will post here again then. If not - see you all at The Gathering!
