Welcome To G in the park
G in the Park has been a tremendous success since its conception in 2006, and therefore, it is our intention to host another in 2010. A good number of Gordon Highlanders attended with their better halves in the first year, and in subsequent years it has flourished to become a substantial reunion.
Caravans, Tents or basha’s are welcome, however if you have neither we could squeeze you into one of the marquees with a sleeping bag. You may however like to book in at one of the local B&Bs, whose telephone numbers can be obtained from Banff Tourist Board. All are welcome to come up on Friday to set up, however, the main day is the Saturday With the Barbecue starting at midday and carrying on to Sunday morning and breakfast prior to departure, or just come along for the day on Saturday.
so if you can help in any way please get in touch with Wullie Gow or Tony Posey, or Pug. As we are not getting any younger why not turn up and see some old (very in some cases) faces and join in the festivities, remember it is open to family members as well, this year we had our youngest member (have a look at the photo's).
Please look at the galleries for a quick update on what you have been missing. feel free to leave us a message in our guestbook and let us know what you think about the site.
See you there.......
