Stall Holders 2013

Stuart Smith — Tue, 19 Mar 2013 09:16:54 +0000

For anyone who wishes to apply for a stall at this year’s Games please find an application form available for downloading below.

We will have a craft tent with 12 places, use the same form but send it to the correct address on the form.

We do not yet know how much space we have this year. It is expected that work to convert the bottom pitch into a 3G artifical surface may be ongoing at the time of our Games. This pitch is normally used for car-parking. Without that area being available we may have to re-jig the entire site which may result in a reduction in number of slots.

2012 Games Report

Stuart Smith — Wed, 31 Oct 2012 12:33:29 +0000

The day started off dull, overcast with a haar covering the coast and slightly inland. Viewing the arena first thing in the morning I was struck by the “spiders webs” covering the field. The haar (mist to some) stayed most of the day with the sun breaking through after 4 pm to bring a good end to the day.

The Pipe Band Championships had 79 performances through-out the day starting very early – about 9.15 am and finishing shortly before 5 pm. Unfortunately the prize giving took far too long and the march down to the High Street did not begin until 6.45 pm. We will have to re-visit this again as it’s meant to start at 6 pm at the latest.

The heavy events saw 8 men competing and after last year’s female demonstration event, there was an actual female competition this year with 4 women competing.

Solo Piping and Highland Dancing events also took place and there was some discussion regarding increasing the Solo Piping in future.

Attendance was around 4,200 spectators which, regrettably, is down again.I think we need some good weather in the run-up to the actual day to improve this.

Results for some of the competitions can be found using the links below.

Games Day Approaches

Stuart Smith — Thu, 02 Aug 2012 12:49:33 +0000

Just to confirm this years Games are ON and taking place this Saturday.

The park is currently being set up, there are one or two areas that are soggy and we won’t be using, the Highland Dancing area has been moved.

Conditions underfoot are slightly soft but currently drying under the sun but we’d still recommend wellies be worn on Saturday. As the ground is soft we’d recommend anyone coming to use the rail and bus services rather than car as on-site parking may be restricted.

Stalls

Stuart Smith — Fri, 10 Feb 2012 15:16:15 +0000

At present we have made no decisions on stalls and type of vehicles that will be allowed on site. We have been rain affected in 3 of the last 4 years. We use a public park with pitches for football and rugby that will be in use within days of our event.

At present any request for a stall is being held until after our first meeting of the year and an application form will be uploaded within a few days of that meeting.
