Re: Gathering in Canada
Thank You
The International Gathering is held in Redheugh, Scotland, and more info will be available closer to the event. If you’re looking specifically for Canadian gatherings / games / events, check out the events page: http://www.elliotclan.com/events/events-canada/
What time of year will the gathering be held? We would like to know as early as possible so that we can plan and book flights and accommodation.
I should have an update on this pretty soon.
Excited to hear about the 2013 date! Hope you all have a wonderful Christmas.
We are planning to come to the next gathering in Scotland 2013. Just wondering when we would be able to book/pay etc. as we are just starting to get the outline of our trip to the UK together.
Thanks for any info.etc.
Kind regards
Heather
