I have been asked by the organizers of the Dublin Ohio Irish Festival to bring Scottish Athletics to Dublin around the first vweek in August this year. I have tentatively agreed. We are in active negotiations centering around - what else - insurance. Now I like you people but I am not gonna mortugage my house to buy you insurance. have been there and done that! I am trying to get them to join the association of Scottish games and Festivals and piggy back on that insurance.

So, question is, how many of you want to go set field records in a brand new venue? Please give me some indication of intended participation or vinterest so I know what I am dealing with? working on this. confrence call with city administrators and thier lawyer tomorrow. oh joy! Let's see where did I put that quart of clear liquid I brought back from KY.

Aye, dave

Dave,
I can't speak for the Ohio Boys, but there are about a dozen + of them that would probably be interested. This is a list I pulled from the http://glsaa.com/forum/index.php site hosted by soon to be Dad Josh Raab for an upcoming games on May 31st. Some guys from Michigan and Western Pennsylvania may be interested as well.

I'm very much interested in the Dubln games.

Dublin would work for me, (masters of course). It's only about 3 hrs. or so from me.

I grew up in Columbus. Let me assure you this is no small festival. It might actually prove to be the biggest crowd in the USA to view HG. The attendance levels are rediculously high.

I had my schedule set in stone but if you land this festival I would like to compete in this. Master's most preferred.

I think I'd be interested. I ahve plenty of friends to stay with in Columbus. Could kill 2 birdies with one stone *snicker*

If you had a women's class I know a fair bunch of folk out there that might want to play, including me.

You are working babe!

Kidding! That reminds me, I am going to need to staff this, so please let me know if you are available to work.

You are totally not kidding....can I do both? Or how about I make you a deal.....if I find some people to work the games, you let the ladies throw? Deal? We can even spit shake on it! You know how I feel about spit shaking!

I think i might be cleared for competition by August. Pending doc's ok i am interested.

I'm in if it happens.

Will it be Sat, August 2nd? Is that a conflict with Weight City or was WC a one-time thing?

I would be interested in doing this game my season will start in july

Frank, Weight City is on again this year according to John Collins. The date is August 16.

Whew, thanks. I would have had a lot of explaining to do to Mr. and Mrs. Collins about what I was doing standing around in their field. You mighta saved me a load of buckshot!

So Dublin is def Saturday, 8/2? Definitely interested.

I'd be interested in a Dublin, OH games. It would be a good chance to get my mother-in-law to a games. She lives right around there.
