>From green@bigbird.csd.scarolina.edu Fri Aug 12 17:50:52 1994 From: "James W. Green III" Subject: Games Schedule

WARNING: This list may contain errors. If you are actually going to one of these Gatherings-Games-Festivals, please contact me Green@Bigbird.CSD.SCarolina.Edu & see if we can get you the address of the games so you can snail a letter for a folder & thereby get verification of the date & place of the chosen gathering. The best place to check is to go to a library & look for the Highlander Magazine & look at the schedule in the back then look thru it for an article & an ad on the said games. Likewise you can check the Scottish Banner newspaper & with your clan & its newsletter. Please give me Green@Bigbird.CSD.SCarolina.Edu corrections of any errors & the source of the correction, e.g.: games folder, Highlander issue, clan X newsletter issue. We should start a list of E-mail addresses for the games. I have E-mail addresses for people with 3 games here in the SE USA.
