THE PROGRAMME FOR Lossiemouth’s Seafest week has been finalised with an Orienteering event kicking things off on Saturday morning.
Junior orienteers are being invited to gather from 10.15am at Lossiemouth Bay Caravan Park – with primary and secondary school participants able to score points towards their school team in the Moray & Nairn Orienteering League.
Later on the same day there are Tennis taster sessions at Marine Park for all ages and abilities from 1.30pm until 3.30pm – all equipment will be provided by the Lossiemouth Tennis Club. On Saturday evening the opening Seafest Supper will be held in the Stotfield Hotel – tickets are still available from donnamilne35@btinternet.com or mamclennan@moraychamber.co.uk.

On Tuesday there is the ‘Gravy Bone-anza Pet Show’ where your dog, cat, snake, hamster – whatever pet you have can be entered with a top prize of £50 on offer in the form of a voucher for Moray Coast Vets.
