Life Patrons
Life Patronage is offered to those supporters of Cowal Highland Gathering who wish to make a generous donation to be used in the furtherance of the Gathering and improvement of facilities offered to competitors and visitors. Life Patrons are entitled to some unique benefits, and in order that the donations can be used for the intended purposes, their will be a small annual administration charge to cover the ongoing costs of offering entry tickets, programmes, postage etc.

Patrons
Supporters who wish an ongoing involvement with the Games and wish to ensure the growth and success of Cowal Highland Gathering can enlist as a Patron, paying a fee to join, and then an annual subscription fee. In order to recognise the support given by our Patrons, we would offer the following benefits.

Friends

Use of Patrons/Overseas Marquee
It is the aim of Cowal Highland Gathering to encourage community spirit amongst the businesses in and around the local area, together with those further afield who have an affection for the Cowal Games.

Each business becoming a member is encouraged to display and promote the fact that it is a supporter of the Gathering. Hopefully this support will gain momentum in the weeks leading up to the Gathering with the result being a festival atmosphere embracing all types of business coming together to support and promote this high profile event throughout the World as a whole.
