Club Prize Giving and Ceilidh
) President Robin Haynes |
The new pared down format of this event provided a highly convivial –and informal- evening. No fancy sit down meal but plenty of food, a cheap bar, an excellent band and also plenty of time and space to eat, drink and blether. | ) The Presidential Underwear |
) Anne Nimmo |
The winner of the Burns Scott Trophy for the most noteworthy contribution to the Club in the year was Anne Nimmo, for her services as President. The runner up was Andy Spenceley for taking over organisation of the Carnethy 5 race at short notice. | |
) Alex Menarry |
Alex Menarry proved to be a hugely popular winner of the Scald Law Trophy for outstanding athletic achievement in the year. In 2005, Alex won an Over 70 Silver medal at the World Masters. The other nominees for this prize were : Jill Mykura, for her successes in winning the British Championship title; Stewart Whitlie, for his many achievements this year, including the British Veterans title and The Male Vets Team, for their achievement in winning the British Championships. | ) Tired Menarry |
) Shane Bouchier |
Prizes (booze mostly) are awarded to winners of each handicap over the year and to the overall winner of the handicap series who this year was new member Shane Bouchier. Happily, the handicap secretary was present so that should be Shane out of the running for next year’s competition. | |
| In previous years the Club Championship competition has reflected the winner’s commitment to entering either prestigious or esoteric races and was of the form of a ladder competition. This year, the competition was broadened to reward those putting effort into the organisation of club events. So reflecting a summer of chasing his wife around the country to race and a huge contribution to making club races happen and happen well, this magnificent trophy was won by Willie Mykura. | ||
| Winner of The Caerketton Junior Trophy for outstanding athletic ability of a junior was Lewis Holding who not only looks like mum Hilary but can run like her too. | ) Lewis Holding |
