I was very glad to see Dave Glasgow promote his first USAWA event, the Ledaig Record Day, this past weekend. It also gave me the opportunity to “officially” award him the USAWA Newcomer of the Year Award, which was announced at the USAWA National Meeting last month. I have known Dave a long time through the Highland Games. He has attended several competitions (both Highland Games and All-Round Events) held at my place throughout the past years. And now, I FINALLY got the chance to make it to his place for a competition. I now know where Rainbow Bend is located (but don’t expect a GPS to get you there! ). Dave hosted a weekend affair, with a Highland Game competition on Saturday and the Record Day on Sunday. Both days were a huge success. The Record Day had 7 competitors, which is the highest attendance at a record day since February of 2009. Dave and the Ledaig Heavy Athletics Club are a great addition to the USAWA.
