How come it's so late in the day? Or are they always this time? (Never been before).

It has been this time for years.

As a child in the 1960s I went to the Southend Games in the evening.

It was a fine event again this year....we'll get it publicised more on here in 2010!

It has always been an evening event. I remember one attemt to change it to the afternoon in 1980 and that was not a success and back to night time in '81.
That was around the time The Campbeltown Highland Games were held in June....maybe 3 years they tried and it absolutely poured from the heavens every time...if these had been sunny, hot days who knows? maybe The Campbeltown Highland Games would be still going and be one of the prestigious events on the Highland Games Circuit.....just needed a good start.

Its been a few years since I attended the Southend Highland Games and as always it was such a well supported and organised event. Loved watching all the races especially the kids 3 legged races. Watching them was priceless .

Got to say you ran well 4th gen ...I should have borrowed your running outfit for my race...bare feet and being fully clothed didna help . :oops:

Watch out next year Zola Bud :wink:

Great photos Kintyre Forum News.

That chap in the picture above at the front was fast. He seemed to beat the others with ease. The bloke in the background watching can throw a hammer - way further than the others I saw. Looked to be more people there than I'd expect to live in Southend altogether

We didn't stay too long as we were tired from the 440 mile trip, and it was freezing!
