How wonderful to be at a Xmas party with so many talented hill runners and an abundance of quick wit and good humour. To be awarded a prestigious Carnethy prize is something very special. Worthy winners included Micah Stanbridge – Trans-America charity bike ride, Kenneth Fordyce – most improved and enthusiastic member, Helen Bonsor – wooden spoon (incident amusingly narrated by Bob!), Charlotte Morgan – for all her amazing achievements this year, Gordon Cameron – Club Champs, Andy Lamont – handicaps and Andrew Nash – juniors.
We were given an exclusive and entertaining view of ‘Carnethy Racks’, with public consensus agreeing that the most impressive and lovingly presented rack belongs to John Ryan, a surprising result to anyone who has ever seen the inside of his car! The three Nicolas received the honour of winning the ‘Threesome’ photo competition.
A special thanks went to Margaret Forrest who has edited the newsletter for many years. Lisa Gamble coordinated the evening for us so a big thanks to her too.
We all left with seasonal good cheer and looking forward to the forthcoming pub run and Eskapade.
