Events - those important questions answered ...
We offer this area of the website as an answer to the when, where, what type of questions.
There is a map, showing you roughly where everything takes place, and a programme of events detailing deadline for entry and approximate timings that each event will take place. We have also included event descriptions, with wee snippets of information, photographs and history of the different events.
For anyone with an interest in prior years, we have been undertaking a wee project to draw together some previous results which you can see on the results page.
We will show (with thanks) the local businesses that are sponsoring each event (with live links, where provided). There is also a listing (for any other businesses keen to help out, financially) of events and infrastructure still in need of support, how to get in touch with any further questions, and the sponsorship form which we are always delighted to receive.
