Page 36, Ashburton’s The Courier, Thursday 24 October 2019 Drysdale named games chieftain Peri Drysdale MBE is chieftain for the ninth annual Hororata Highland Games. “Having grown up on a farm inWindwhistle (20 minutes from Hororata) Perihas deepconnections to our community, andwe are honouredthat she will be our 2019 chieftain,” said Hororata Community Trust chair, Richard Lang. An entrepreneur and business owner, Peri founded fashion company Untouched World which produces ecologically sustainable clothing, and founded the Untouched World Foundation which runs groundbreaking Leadership for Sustainable Future programmes. Both the Untouched World Company and foundation are recognised by theUNasglobal exemplars in the sustainability space. “Scotland is close to my heart as my husband, Alex, was born in Balmahar near Loch Lomond before emigrating to New Zealand with hisfamilyas achild, and now our son Tim lives inEdinburgh,” said Peri. “I havewatched the Hororata Highland Games grow over the last nine years with interest. The Highland Spin competition intrigues me, the concept of taking wool from araw product and turning into agarment in just 6.5 hours sounds like a challenge. I am also looking forward to judging the best dressed lad and lassie competition where Iamsure we will see some creative use of tartan.” The best dressed lad and lassies competition is a new event for 2019 which will celebrate tartan and showcase innovative design. Held on the main stage straight after the welcoming ceremony, this will beafun fashion show for participants and spectators. Anyone can enter on the day, with different age categories. “Tartanisthe themeof this year’s event, wewant to enhance and celebrate our Scottishness,” said Richard. “We have our own Hororata Tartan whichwas designed in Scotland and gifted to the trust in 2012.Itisregistered with the Scottish Tartan authority, and its vibrant colours represent our community.” The Hororata Tartan fabric is 100% wool and is woven in Scotland. People can purchase a range of hats and cushions made from the tartan. “With the Hororata Highland Games being New Zealand’s biggest Scottish festival, we encourage visitors to join in the fun and dress intheir Scottish regalia, whether it be traditional or contemporary or maybe even a little Braveheart,” said Richard. Gates open 9am 9th November, Hororata Domain, the event concludes with a heartpounding massed bands march at 4.30pm. Competitions entries are open until 28th October.
