Unfortunately, following a site visit on the evening of 7th August 2019 with the Perth Games Committee, Scone Palace staff and representatives from RSPBA DPA branch, we have jointly taken the reluctant decision to cancel the 2019 Perth Games scheduled for 11th August 2019 due to current ground conditions and the adverse weather conditions which are being forecast for the remainder of this week.
