Quaich 2012 Lodging

During the Quaich 2012 tournament, the players from both countries will be staying at the Marriott Singer Island Resort & Spa (http://www.marriott.com/hotels/travel/pbisg-palm-beach-marriott-singer-island-beach-resort-and-spa/). Situated on the Atlantic, the Marriott Singer Island Resort has its own golden-sand beachfront and two pools --- providing plenty of venues for the Scotsmen to show off their tans and new speedos.

Bret "Fabric" Baier - named for the yards of material used to make the billowy linen shorts that he wears to cover his substantial backside.

Eric "Swayze" Silagy - named for his remarkable resemblance to the actor Patrick Swayze (circa 1987 - Dirty Dancing). "Nobody puts Baby in a corner!"

Nick "Nae Luck" Dawson - he achieved his nickname after an incredible series of misfortunes including picking up a girl in a Glasgow pub and being invited back to her flat, only to see her be run down by a cab on the street outside.

James "Sheets" Moreland - his nickname stems from his remarkable capacity for sleep. The man is a champion napper and man of leisure.
