So, put on your dancing shoes and “gie it laldy!”

Get ready for a display of elite athleticism! How are your skills at the three-legged race, the dressing up race, the sack race and many others? We will even have a variant on the ever-popular dodgeball. If it is fun, we will do it. You will be in a team competing, cheering and chanting. All you need to bring is energy.
