Thank you for sharing the great pictures with us! I haven't been to many games the past two years and these photos have helped me keep up with the goings-on.
Slainte, Bill

Thanks for merging the two threads, Alex. A few more pics.

A kilted Somebody -

Another kilted Somebody -

A very strange kilted Somebody. Not sure whether that is his own hair, or part of the 'see you Jimmie' hat. It was not so much as what he was wearing but his whole body language, it was all 'I dare you to say something'. Of course, nobody did -

Again, it was a really worthwhile day -
A constant stream of people wanting to know about kilts and all things kilt,
Gave out dozens of cards (new members, maybe - lurkers, certainly),
A BIG THANKS to Paul for the loan of his fabric books for the day (they were a really big hit),
Thanks again to Grae in Australia for the swatches (another big hit),
Thanks to all the XMarkers for coming and having a meet up,
Thanks to Alex, for making the effort and coming down from Scotland.

I know other XMarkers were also taking pictures, so hopefully they will appear here as well.

Regards

Chas

I know you will have made a spectacular effort as usual Chas so I apologise for not being able to make it down. Tried to get it sorted but life got in the way as it is want to do. Looks like another cracker of a doo though. Still have fond memories of last year. Maybe next year when my life is a bit less hectic.

EDIT: Is that the Black Country kilt you were mentioning last year Paul? Nice!

John,indeed it is, the owner is very pleased with it ( which is a big relief).
sorry that we didn't see you this year, but sometimes things just get in the way!
I'd be putting up some photos , I just haven't had time yet, sorry!
