First good sign that I had arrived in the right place:

Who's is that? Are they an XMarks member? I think I've seen that van in Manchester.

I really wanted to go but I didn't have the money or vacation time. Is the left-handed kiltmaker going to become a permanent fixture there?

One last question then I'll stop bugging you...maybe

Where can I find info on attending next year? I looked on the website and all I could find was dance camp and band camp.

The van belongs to Judy, who isn't a member, but you may have seen it - how close is Keene to Manchester? Anyway, she'll be taking over the instructing from Elsie next year.
Left-handed Ann was planning on being there next year, which is good news for me.
As soon as I hear anything about next year's camp, I'll post it here. Hopefully that will be within the next couple of months, as I have to put in for next year's vacation in October.

Keene is only about an hour or so away from here so it's quite possible I've seen her. I also sent an email to them requesting info so hopefully we find out in time.

So where do we get the info. on these Kamps from Elsie BEFORE they happen?

Most likely, I'll just make the durn thing right handed, but it's good to hear there are other lefties out there tackling this.

Be well,

I'm another lefty, so a post showing us what you learned would be great!
