THANK YOU FROM NAIRN GAMES COMMITTEE

We hope everyone had a great day. The committee would like to thank all sponsors, officials, volunteers and those who attended, for helping to make it happen. Some folks have contacted us to tell us that due to the very large and happy crowds they found it hard to spot our collectors - but they would have loved to donate (to help with all the major costs of such a big event).

If you missed that opportunity, and would like to make a donation then please scan our QR code.

Alternatively please pay your chosen amount, by BACS, to Nairn Highland Games Committee, reference DONS, account number 00756861, Sort Code 80-09-17, Bank of Scotland, High Street, Nairn
