Minith Field
A great deal of work had already been done in the preparation of Minith field for the forthcoming festivities by the council of enthusiasts that compromised the over sight committee. The field was the obvious choice for the contests of athletic prowess and once the herd of goats had been led away the grass was nice and short in the area that was to be the field of the contest. The goats grazed happily away in a corner of the big field under an old oak tree penned ready for the time where their unique grass cutting services were required again.
The field was roughly rectangular and surrounded by mature trees. To the west of the field was luckily enough for the organisers, a bowl. Perhaps before time began it had been the crater of a volcano but no one remembered, it was simply called Miniths’ Saucer a natural circular amphitheatre with a circumference of nigh on 400 metres. Perfect as a sporting venue as spectators could stand around the “saucer” and cheer their favourites as they performed in the “saucer”.
A grand stage area had been erected at the northern point of Minith field over looking the playing area where the cultural contests would be held, including dancing and musical events.
