Looking for Australian Tirisdeachs ! . . . as per below from Ian Lamond Cheers, Scott . . . 18 days to go! www.tireegathering.com nb - Archie and I attended the Kincardine Scottish Festival promoting the Gathering via posters thanks to Guelph's MacKinnon Transport and Leanne's flyers. At the Gathering, of which is it reported thousands were in attendance Archie and I had the chance to meet many that are interested in the Gathering. I in my kilt marched to and fro in the parade on the main street in Kincardine carrying the Gathering banner high above my head for all to notice. Bye for now. Scott PS - we welcome all "'nuisance' last minute registrants" ! If you have registered . . . great! . . . if not please do so today! -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Ian Lamond ihlamond@hotmail.com ----- Original Message ----- From: Ian Lamond To: j.scottcameron@rogers.com Sent: Monday, July 05, 2004 4:16 AM Dear Scott, Undoubtedly you, Archie, Leanne & all your helpers are very busy as the Guelph Gathering is now very close ( I see that registration packs have been forwarded to all those who HAVE registered). I have been hoping to get to the gathering myself ( Tiree ancestry), but as I overstayed in my visit to Tiree & other parts of the UK last year things are NOT looking to good for me even at this late stage & if I do make it at all, I will of necessity probably & unfortunately now be one of those 'nuisance' last minute registrants ( been THERE, & coped with them myself on administrations of World Congresses, when a very younger man !). I also had hoped to get in touch with a few fellow Australians so that we could converse. If you can help at all I would be very grateful, indeed. Thanking you & wishing you all the very best in your preparations & execution, Yours Sincerely, Ian Lamond/t, "Meryla Lodge", Bowral, NSW 2576,Australia. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
