Is this your President hurling a haggis?
Ten people, (members, wives and friends), enjoyed a great day at the Hororata Highland Games last Saturday on what was a beautiful warm day. This day is about everything Scottish, from tasting stalls selling Scots Whisky, (Gordon said the whisky from Whisky Galore tasted great), to listening to a number of pipe bands, throwing the Haggis, (I was not able to throw mine very far but still won a prize), to watching tugs of war, and the main serious completion by big strong men in kilts, which tested their skills in various ways, for instance lifting a 130 kilogram stone off the ground and placing it in a tyre on top of a large barrel, Whew.
The various smoked salmon pieces, and mussels from the local Hororata Smoke House Stall tasted delicious. A very enjoyable fun day was had by all who attended.
