The traditional start of the games season in the area has been moved up with the addition of several Tartan Day activities in the Capital region in early April. Also new is an early May festival in nearby Dumfries VA in conjunction with the town's 250th anniversary.

There are more games being added all the time, so if you would be willing to host a tent at an event in your area, please contact me. There's at one weekend with three events scheduled and another with two, so we need your help to see that CMA is represented at as many events as possible. We have duplicates of many of the items needed to run a tent available for loan, but cloning hasn't advanced enough to solve the problem of people to host the tent or getting time off from a job to enable travel to distant games.
