Chairman’s Message
Come and join us on the Village Green, Aboyne on 6th August for the 144th Aboyne Highland Games.
We hope to make your family day out one of the best.
In 2010 over 9000 visitors attended our games and witnessed 96 arena events, a fabulous display of goods and produce in our trade stand area, and a fantastic traditional funfair for kids of all ages.
For 2011 it is “more of the same” with a full complement of field athletes (heavy and light), dancers, pipers and fiddle players from far and near all congregating on Aboyne Village Green for your enjoyment.
Make the 5th and 6th of August a real fun weekend. Come and join us on Friday night in the Marquee on the Green, and marvel at the sounds of Scotland’s top girl tribute band “Feeva”. Enjoy on-site refreshments and dance the night away to music from the 50’s, to modern pop – something for all ages. Order your tickets now from Strachan’s in Aboyne and the Newsagent in Tarland. Party bookings direct with organiser Graham Ross 01339 881912.
We also have the famous Saturday night disco for all “young at heart”.
So don’t forget to put Aboyne Games in your diary for 2011 – free coach, mini-bus and car parking, and complimentary courtesy buses for those with tired legs. If you are early enough, there’s a free seat in any of our three grandstands for the whole day, on a first come, first served basis.
Finally, a heartfelt thank you to our “army” of committee members and local volunteers who give up more than just their weekend, in order that you may enjoy the unique experience of “The Traditional Highland Games – Since 1867″
