Limited places are still available for this year's Festival, but you will have to be quick and get your team entry in before the 31 May deadline. This is your last opportunity to join the thousands of international rugby fans looking forward to experiencing the famous Scottish hospitality and making sure the 2008 Golden Oldies Festival is the best one yet.

Festival Ambassador, Gavin Hastings said: "The Festival has really captured the public’s imagination and we are delighted with the response we’ve received to date. That being said, places are still available for the Festival and time is running out. I strongly urge to register your team before the end of May and join us for this year’s hottest rugby event in September”.
