Dear all,

Following the latest weather forecast, and after careful consideration, we have decided to postpone this year's Highland Games.

The forecast indicates severe weather conditions that would make it unsafe and impractical to hold the event as planned. While this is not the outcome we had hoped for, the safety and well-being of our attendees, participants, and team must come first.

All ticket holders will receive full refunds within the next week to their original method of payment. You do not need to take any further action to receive this – it will be done automatically.

We sincerely appreciate your understanding and support. We are currently looking at possible future opportunities to bring the Highland Games back to Beijing once again and will keep you informed of any updates.

Thank you once again for your enthusiasm and engagement — we look forward to gathering again under more favourable conditions.

With best wishes,

The British Chamber of Commerce in China, Scottish Government Office, and Scottish Development International

尊敬的宾客朋友们，

根据最新天气预报，并且经过审慎考量，我们决定延期举办‌原定于明日6月14日的‌苏格兰高地运动会‌（Highland Games）。

天气预报显示‌雷电暴雨恶劣天气，如果按原计划举办，活动会存在‌安全隐患且难以实施‌。尽管这并非是我们所期望的，但‌所有宾客、参展商及团队成员的安全与健康必须放在首位‌。

我们会在下周给已购票的宾客自动退款。

我们‌衷心感谢‌您的谅解与支持。我们目前正在与多方合作伙伴商量在未来合适的时候，会再次举办精彩的苏格兰高地运动会，并将随时向您通知最新进展。

再次感谢您的支持与参与 - 我们期待在‌更合适的天气下再次与你相聚！

中国英国商会，苏格兰政府，苏格兰国际发展局

Tug o'war

Teams are divided into two by a red tape in the center of the rope. The aim of this competition is to pull the opposing team to your side of the line marked on the ground. As soon as the red tape crosses the line marked on the ground, the team who pulls the rope to their side wins. 

Shot Put

The shot put (in this case medicine ball), has to be placed close to your neck, resting on your shoulder. The shot must be released above the height of the shoulder with one hand. Competitors are permitted to either run up to the boundary line or stay still before releasing the ball. The competitor who throws the ball the furthest is the winner. 

Tyre Flip

As a team effort, you and your team mates are required to flip the tyre from one cone to another and back again. The team to complete the distance in the quickest time wins. 

Farmer's Walk

Carrying two heavy kettle-bells, competitors have to walk the marked out distance without dropping the weights or stopping in between. The person with the quickest speed, will win the competition.

The Highland Cup 5-a-side Football Competition
