And to entertain those with a slightly less athletic outlook we have a few events lined up which will hopefully keep the remaining Boys in your section as well as family and supporters amused.
The Scottish Tug of War Association have offered their expertise and help on the day and are looking for teams of 6-8 people to enter a team and take part in this event. They will supply all ropes and officials, and are asking for as many teams as possible to enter. If you require a free tutorial DVD or rules on Tug Of War then contact their secretary
Company Captains now have details, so if you haven’t heard about it, go ask them!
