CASLO 2024 Opening Ceremony: A Nod to Tradition & A New Musical Tribute!

🎖 Flashback and Flourish: CASLO 2024's Opening Ceremony 🥃

Hey ASL Warriors!

Get ready for a blast from the past with a twist at CASLO 2024. This year, we're not just raising our glasses to the thrilling days of yesteryear but also amplifying the experience with a soul-stirring addition.

🌟 Honouring Jim McLeod

We'll kick off the ceremonies by paying tribute to the legendary Jim McLeod. His spirit lives on as we continue the tradition he cherished - a toast with a fine 12-year-old Scotch whisky, celebrating the camaraderie and competitive spirit that is the heart of CASLO.

🎶 Introducing Piper Scott Ringrose

And this year, our toast will be accompanied by the evocative sounds of the bagpipes, played by none other than Piper Scott Ringrose. Let the haunting melodies transport you to the highlands as we salute the past and herald the start of a new CASLO chapter.

🥂 Join Us for the Toast

Whether you're a returning player or a new competitor, be part of this storied opening ceremony. Immerse yourself in the legacy of CASLO, and let the stirring notes of the bagpipes set the tone for the strategic battles ahead.

So, mark your calendars:

📅 10 May 2024
⏰ 11:45 AM (just before the games begin)
📍 Victoria, BC

Raise your glass, enjoy the music, and celebrate the start of an unforgettable tournament weekend. Let's honour the traditions that bring us together and the new memories we'll create.

Here's to the games, the strategies, and the enduring spirit of camaraderie at CASLO. 🎉

See you there, with the skirl of the pipes ringing in our ears!
