WOMEN'S ATHLETICS TO BE HIGHLIGHTED IN 2008!

Perth-Andover's Gathering of the Scots festival marked the first time that women have competed in the sport of Scottish Heavy Athletics in Eastern Canada (2007)! After such a successful start, organizers are pleased to announce that the "Lassies" will be back on the field again in 2008!

Seeing the women toss around the heavy implements proved to be a crowd favorite, and they will not disappoint this year! Two local athletes, Adena Robinson and Wendy McCrea, have been honing their skills and are ready to take on all comers! It is shaping up to be a great competition as more women have shown interest in being a part of this new event! So now it's your turn . . . simply contact our Athletic Coordinator at athletes@gatheringofthescots.com and sign up for the Skills Workshop Friday evening - you will never have a better opportunity to get involved!
