Just a reminder that the Southend Highland games are on this weekend.

I love Southend Games... its a great family night out. Gutted though cause I am going to Ireland with the Pipe Band for the European Championships. I will enjoy that though, just sorry they are on the same weekend!!!!

Hope everyone that goes has a good time.

Best part of Southend Highland Games is the MAD GUY on the mic.

Would that be 4th Gen??????

and dont forget about the campbeltown pipe band that are playing

Evening Event - 5.30pm to 10pm at Hotel Park behind Argyll Hotel Southend.

Heavyweights and Solo Piping + stalls.

Resume of the Highland Games:- It is very child friendly, with lots of races of various types for the under 14's. Heavy weight and Junior classes including ladies races and broom throwing, and a combination of Kintyre Pipe Band doing the march on and playing during the evening.

There is also a licensed bar, with Frances at Muneroy Tearooms open throughout the evening for meals, snacks, teas and coffees, again with a full licence.

Aye, that'll be me....and now I will have to act like a mad guy on a mic....maybe swing it around my head, by its cable, like a lassoo...letting the flex get a bit longer each time round...maybe sit up on the football goal crossbar making daft comments about how the committee managed to keep the midgies away!

Forecast is good...should be a great night....despite the man on the mic!

Yeah, but you gotta do it now 4th. Gen, surely? With the biscuit-tin lid for the sound effects and that...it'll be expected...
