So, get together with your best pal or nay-bour and join in. Charity mascots also welcome (tho they cause the most trouble). There will be Dressage.... Competitors will proceed to markers and perform set movements in the correct order. The ability to conga is a must. A short round of Show Jumping and a race will complete the event. There will be rules, but we doubt they will be enforced. Entry is free. Spectate if you dare.

BALLATER HIGHLAND GAMES
BALLATER FILMS
Ballater Films Presents Misbehaviour, as part of this Years BVW.
In 1970, the Miss World competition took place in London, hosted by US comedy legend, Bob Hope. At the time, Miss World was the most-watched TV show on the planet with over 100 million viewers. Claiming that beauty competitions demeaned women, the newly formed Women's Liberation Movement achieved overnight fame by invading the stage and disrupting the live broadcast of the competition. Not only that, when the show resumed, the result caused uproar: the winner was not the Swedish favourite but Miss Grenada, the first black woman to be crowned Miss World. In a matter of hours, a global audience had witnessed the patriarchy driven from the stage of the Western ideal of beauty turned on its head.

HISTORY @THE HALLS
Sandy Dolan's talk this year shall be on The Crathie Bazaar of 1894 , the Bazaar being held to help raise funds for The New Crathie Church. A unique event in as much as many members of the Royal family were stall holders, also the Queen herself paid quite a few visits during the two days the Bazaar was held.
