I hope this finds everyone trying to stay cool this summer. We are Convenor’s Corner gearing up for our fall games, two in Tennessee, one in September - we will be in Memphis for ClanJamfry and the first of November we will head just down the road to Celtic Fest in Jackson. We are so glad that we found out about the second festival last year in Tennessee since we had lost several games that were held in Arkansas and lost another we had discovered (SwampCelt) in Louisi- ana where they throw alligators instead of beer kegs. We wanted to be able to attend and convene at more than just one game a year. Please ask other convener’s that might be from a neighboring state which festival they enjoy going to. You might end up finding some- thing new and lots of fun to add to your schedule. Hope to see some of you in October for the Atlanta Stone Mountain Jean Wallace games. This is a really great game to attend, and if you have never been once, I know you will want to go back again and again. Let me know if you have a favorite game(s) that is a must go - at least once in a lifetime and let us help others have fun too! The map to your left should also inspire you to ―GONE AWAW‖, as our maker did when we sent our kilt order to Scot- land and discovered that he too was on vacation and had also gone away. My advice to you is to find a new game or festival to ―GONE AWAW‖ to. SUMMER 2010 PAGE 5 “THE GUARDIAN” PUBLISHED BY THE CLAN WALLACE SOCIETY WORLDWIDE. EST. 1966 .
