Highland RFCA Defence Relationship Manager Ray Watt welcomed everyone to Cluny Activities before the participants were broken into four teams (Blue, Green, Red and Yellow) and the fun began!

Following trips to the four activity areas and a buffet lunch, the overall scores were totted up and the highest scoring team (Team Blue) announced by Hayley from Cluny Activities. Each Team Blue member received a gift voucher courtesy of Cluny.
