Scottish Finals 2006 - Pitlochry
This year Scottish Finals returns to Pitlochry Festival Theatre where everything is gearing up for yet another superb Festival among the hills of Highland Perthshire. The adjudicator for 2006 is Michael O’Hara. Many of you will no doubt be Pitlochry regulars who come to the theatre’s regular programme but for those who have not been before this is your chance to enjoy Pitlochry hospitality whilst enjoying what we hope will be the best ever Scottish Finals.
The organising committee have been working hard to try to guarantee this. The Festival Hotel will be Fisher’s Hotel, right in the middle of town (Fishers Hotel ( reservations@swallowhotels.com) 01796 472000). The management have given us a tremendous deal with bed and breakfast at £33 per person per night with no surcharge for single bookings. If you fancy staying somewhere different please refer to the list of accommodation in the February edition of SCENE. It contains a range of establishments from hotels to modest but comfortable B and Bs with a wide price range. Pitlochry is a busy place, even in April so get your booking in now. This is especially true for Fisher’s where rooms are being held for SCDA but they cannot be guaranteed beyond April 8th.
There will be the usual opportunities for socialising with the theatre bar being the centre of activities on Thursday and Fridays. There will be a buffet on the Friday night. The party on Saturday night will be in Fisher’s Hotel.The 2006 Finals will also feature two events of great significance in the life of the Association; on Saturday morning after the official welcome to Pitlochry by the Chairman of the Community Council a memorial to Ros Lane will be inaugurated in The Explorers’ Garden and on the Sunday morning in Fisher’s
Hotel there will be an Extraordinary General Meeting to consider the proposals to reorganise the management of the Association.
The theatre is already taking bookings, so if you want the best seats you had better move fast. Not that there are any bad seats in Pitlochry Festival Theatre, just that some might seem to be better than others. All bookings should be made directly to the theatre, www.pitlochry.org, telephone 01796 484626. First curtain each night will be at 7 p.m.
Further information on accommodation and things to do can be obtained from the local tourist office at 22 Atholl Road, Pitlochry, telephone (01796 472215 or 472751).
