  
Once again this will be an event for both sailors and the public of Macduff and the surrounding areas, with a very warm welcome for the teams from Norway and other parts of the UK.
A varied and exciting range of quayside events are planned to build on the highly successful community event of 2007.
The events will include things for children, young people and adults, from stalls, food tables and activities, including a number of musical events.
Any organisation who wishes to participate in the QUAYSIDE events, please contact Mike Roy(email: Michael.Roy@aberdeenshire.gov.uk)
