MacAulay Heavy(ish) Games

Saturday morning, 11 am (location TBD)
Have you ever wanted to hurl a haggis?? This fun event debuted at the Canada/US Gathering held in Cape Breton in 2018. The idea was the brain child of Bud MacAulay Lush. Much hilarity ensued. Currently we limit it to two events … haggis hurling (not a real haggis) and hammer toss (not a real hammer). We continued the tradition at our International Gathering in Aviemore in 2019. Special highlight was when the hammer ended up on the roof of the hotel. If you need a laugh, the MacAulay Heavy(ish) Games definitely delivers.

 

MacAulay Genealogy and DNA Studies
