Programmes loom large in the life of athletes – in championships they are scrutinised to find out who the opposition is and who is in their heat, in Highland |Gatherings it is to see who is in their heat but maybe more importantly to see what the handicaps are – the opposition’s as well as your own.   During the cross country season the map of the trail is the thing as well as the timing of the other age group races scheduled.   Looking back at old programmes is informative on all these fronts and are also a font of information on social and sporting history.   At a personal level, athletes often keep the main programmes in which they themselves feature.    We have a small number available here – just click on the name of the meeting that you you are interested in.   The Bute programme is part of the profile of the Games.   We can add to these programmes, depending on the interest shown.
