I have had server conjunctivitis since the Wednesday after Christmas, so my reading has been restricted and time on the PC. So I am hoping that I can bring my Tuesday appoint with the Doctor to Monday. I am planning to go to Las Vegas on the Thursday evening, 14 April. Perhaps a look around Las Vegas on Friday morning and early afternoon. Then about 5 or 6 pm on Friday (15 April) to undertake a talk on Boyd history. I assume that this will be done at the Hotel Members will be staying in. >From the experience of my 2010 Tour of the USA, this will last about 3 hours. I have no idea how many Boyd or Boyd Researchers may live in Las Vegas or people will come into Las Vegas for the Highland Games and Celtic Gathering. Lauren, do members wanting to go to these Games, should we make a "bulk" booking at a single hotel? Mike Boyd Historical Committee, HBS

Hi Lauren, Mike, et al, Do we have Las Vegas hotel space reserved yet? If not, do you want me to get involved? Obviously we'll also need meeting space--and so we need to have some idea of how many attendees to expect. Time to get our calendars out folks, and figure it out. Let me know if I can help.

Darlene When I stayed with Lauren last year, she did mention a Hotel in Las Vegas which was not too expensive - sorry can't remember the name of it. I think it started with an F.- just suffering form an information overload from that trip. I think it would be "best" if all those going to Las Vegas, could stay in the one place, but the price range of the Hotel selected will determine that. Lauren, can you provide Darlene with the name of the Hotel you were thinking of. Then we can work out a group price and how we get to and from Tom Boyd Stadium, etc It has been suggested to me that I should stay at the Boyd Tent, so I will need a group of people who can go to other Clan tents to see if any Male or Female Boyd's have married into their Clan during these two days.
