Loch Norman/Grandfather Mountain Highland Games

Thanks for the welcome. Just joined tonight and this was my first post.

There will be about 30 of us camping but, 10 of those are kids. At the moment we are planning to set of camp Tuesday. I wish I could make it a week but, just can't pull that one off. I am hoping that we will scoot in a little before the crowd by going Tuesday instead of Wednesday. Do you think we will be able to get a reasonable spot for 6 or seven tents if we are there by Tuesday afternoon?

I am planning to participate in the wrestling as well. Are there normally a good number of participants? I am 225lbs and it sounds like I may end up in an open weight class.

I understand from talking with my uncles who attended last year that Clan Brown has not been represented in years past. Hopefully we will be able to find some more Browns wondering about. I guess we need to make sure we have a banner. My uncle mentioned a "call of the clans". Is that something we need to register to participate in?

You should be fine if you get there on Tuesday.
Just make sure to get your registration and money sent
in as soon as you can. You can do it on line at this link

I would talk to some of the other wrestlers at the Loch Norman Games to find out about this. Especially if you
talk to a fellow who goes by the name Mad Max. He used to help run
the wrestling at Grandfather.

Your clan will need to register with Grandfather Games.
I think there is a fee for the clan to be a part of the games and
have a tent. For all the particulars on this I would
call them at 828-733-1333.

Even if your clan does not have a "formal" presence there is plenty of
stuff you can do and being able to wrestle or compete is not
tied to your clan’s participation.
