“We were delighted to return to the excellent facilities at Oriam for our College National Finals 2019! Scotland’s National Performance Centre is a fantastic stage to battle for Gold and this could be clearly seen in the excitement and energy of the 130 students involved. The event ran very smoothly and we are grateful for the help we received from Oriam’s staff who saw to it that we had everything we needed. I also heard many positive comments on the Bistro’s lunch selections! An excellent day all round and we can’t wait to return in the future.”
