    All of the above is absolutely correct. I'd be careful with the free beer. Personally, I limit that to the more attractive ladies in the crowd, but hey, that's just me.

    Lately, we have added a replica of Wallace's Claymore/Great Sword (not getting into the debate) and the kids love it. It also gets in a lot of photographs (usually with me as well, but I can't take credit).

    A lot of Games here in NC now use a little booklet for kids..a passport, if you will...and they can get a stamp from every Clan tent they visit. So I recommend a rubber stamp or two. We have several, depending on the kids choice. Oh sure, you can use your clan badge or crest, but we have fun with it, and use Scooby Doo (a Lumsden, don't ya know?), a gnome and a wee haggis (with the words "Got Haggis?")

    Some kids even want the stamp as a tattoo.

    We also put out a candy dish or two (hard candies, and sometimes Licorice All Sorts), and some shortbread for the "mature" folks.

    Good luck, and enjoy, it has become a hobby I relish.

    The Clan Passport idea sounds like a winner...every Games should consider that one.
