Travel, lodging and rental car have been booked. A couple games logged last week and the week before. Training is getting dialed in to peak in a couple of weeks. I'm pretty excited about this one. Will yall be putting out a roster of competitors?

What's the best bet for lodging in the area? It looks pretty limited in the immediate vicinity. Also, what types of transportation are available from Seattle? Trying to avoid having to rent a car, but I will if I must. |

The CLAW!!! Greetings Mighty Throwing Community, It is my humble privilege, to announce that I will be taking the reigns as Athletics Director for the Seattle Highland Games Assoc. and the Pro and Amateur classes held at the affectionately referred “The Claw”. Ken Shaw will continue as co-AD and lead the Judging crew in July for the 73rd games held in Enumclaw, WA. I’ve also asked Bret “Hoss” Lathrop to lead the committee and conduct all logistics, budgeting, scoring and volunteer communications as we’ve done successfully as a team previously. As you know games are under increased pressure to find ways to be relevant, to keep the crowds coming in and manage their budgets prudently. The larger orgs and venues are not immune. The SSHGA had begun the process to eliminate the Pro class due to these constraints, luckily we were asked to get involved in time to reverse that and build a plan that keeps “The Claw” prestige and history marching on. We are excited for the opportunity to put our stamp on it while standing on the shoulders of giants like Wally that shepherded it for so many years. Our focus is a competition that is safe and fun for the throwers, and wildly entertaining for the spectators! An event that honors our traditions while adapting to an ever changing landscape of relevance. An event that brings the best of both national skill and regional talent on display to promote the SSHGA’s mission. Some changes and benefits: The Pro class will be a 1 day competition on Saturday. Other Tweaks: if you have experienced a games we have run, you know how we have an eye for the blend of showing athletes a good time and making sure the crowd gets a show! Enumclaw can be hot in July; especially in that sand/dirt arena. So new water misters are going to be available to help cool you down! As we work with the SSHGA we hope to enhance even further in future. Questions, please don’t hesitate to reach out. Registration will be online starting in April for amateurs. Sincerely, |

"time to play the Game..!
