Keith is charge of the Pipe Bands on the day of the Games. He is also a Lonach Committee member and is one of the invaluable volunteers that helps to 'set up' and then 'dismantle' the Lonach field

He has played the pipes with the Lonach Pipe Band for 42 years !!  

This year, Keith's son, Aiden, will be marching with the Forbes Highlanders for the first time!

Fiona is the ticket and camping co-ordinator and, on the day, can be found in the Information Tent. She has been holding down the fort in here for over 20 years. Fiona's dad, Bill Stratton, was an invited member of the Lonach March for 28 years as well as Steward for the Light Events. Her mum, Audrey, worked in the Secretary's caravan for over 30 years. Fiona and her sister have fulfilled different roles over the years including waitressing and helping in the Secretary's caravan.

Mark started marching with the Highlanders in 1985. Last year, after being asked by the Committee, he took over from his father as Side Standard Bearer - a role he is very proud of. He has been a committee member since 2011 and, like so many other members of the community he helps out set up the arena in the weeks before Lonach and on the day he is the Co-ordinator for the Heavy Events and Steward for the Tug-of War . His nephew is a member of the pipe band and his Uncle is also in the March.

Mark doesn't have just one favourite memory - every year there are new memories!
