Selwyn Times Wednesday November 9 2022 6 NEWS Latest Canterbury news at starnews.co.nz Welcome return for Highland Games HORORATA welcomed 10,000 people to the 11th Highland Games on Saturday, one of the biggest Scottish gatherings in the southern hemisphere. Six hundred competitors took park in traditional Scottish sports. The games hosted the first pipe band competition in 18 months, with 20 bands travelling from all over the South Island to compete. They combined to play together in the massed bands’ march. Athletes from Australia and New Zealand battled for the Oceania Heavyweight Championship over eight disciplines including the caber toss and the Hororata stones. Australian, Terry Sparkes, retained the title he won in 2019. The games also hosted the New Zealand Heavyweight Championship won by Ashburton’s Craig Manson. The women’s championship was hotly contested with Australian Lily Riley taking the title. Red Wiard travelled from Brisbane to compete in Hororata for the first time and was blown away by the event. “I am so grateful for this experience. It was a massive day. Being in the arena with 10,000 people cheering me on made me feel like a celebrity. I am going home with second place, a few personal bests, new friends and a whole lot STRENGTH: Terry Sparkes with the caber toss, he retained the title he won in 2019. Right – Lily Riley took out the women’s championship of memories.” Have a go is another part of the games with people of all ages able to enter the arena to see if they can toss a caber, play the pipes or be victorious in the tug of war. Cindy Driscoll from the Hororata Community Trust said the have a go element is a most popular part of the festival. “This gives people an intimate experience of the Highland Games because they don’t just watch but are part of it, and then some catch the bug and end up becoming competitors.” In a show of community spirit 230 volunteers joined the Hororata Community Trust to make the Hororata Highland Games happen. “The games is unique in the way it celebrates Scottish culture with a Kiwi twist but what really makes it special is the passion people give in to making the event happen. “Our community is not defined by lines on a map. A huge group coming together, bringing passion and energy for a common cause. During 11 years the games really has become part of who we are. We are Clan Hororata,” Driscoll said. Kate Foster was the 11th Horo- SUCCESS: Fletcher Walmsy crossing the kilted mile finish line.

It showcases our rural area to the world, celebrates our history, brings people together and provides a fundraising platform for groups. “The games enables the Hororata Community Trust to support the community to embark on our next project which is developing the Hororata Community Hub. It will be a modern vibrant facility that celebrates our heritage and provides for community needs now and into the future,” Foster said.
