2008 Trophies
We are anxious to avoid the situation where a number of Scottish Championship trophies cannot be presented because they have not been returned by the previous winners. 2008 individual winners and 2008 relay winners. Could any club secretaries or team captains who have not yet reminded winners from their club please chase them up. If you won last year but never received the trophy, please e-mail Lesley Campbell, Day organiser, .(JavaScript must be enabled to view this email address) . If you know the name of the guilty person who never returned it from 2007 she would be glad to know so that she can try to get it returned.
Wildlife Park Offer For Competitors
The Highland Wildlife Park is a charity and part of the Royal Zoological Society of Scotland. For the three days from Saturday 23rd to Monday 25th May inclusive, 2 competitors can visit the Wildlife Park for the price of one. Just produce your BOF cards at the gate.
For returning or first-time visitors, the Cairngorm Park i Website provides a wealth of information about travel, accommodation and the attractions of the area.
