Really Sad. Glad I was fortunate enough to get my name on that plaque (right after Hollywood Don Stewarts).

This is sad but true.
My first game I threw, First game I ran. Let's hope someone in Vt can rescue this game. |

In 2011 I published "Scotland's Highland Games: Challenges In An Aging Society" which focused on the Games Organising Committees. I really hoped that things were going to be different in the USA but with news of every cancellation it seems like the same forces which led to us losing 20% of Scotland's Highland Games between 2000 and 2010 are causing problems over there. Clearly there are numerous reasons why Games wind up but for me I keep finding the bottom line seems to be that a number of Baby Boomer age organisers are retiring or expiring or simply running out of steam. Difficult days ahead for some.
