Following the announcement on April 1st of a bringing together of Carnethy with HBT, behind the scenes, unofficial negotiations happened between Mark Hartree of the Carnethy Committee and Martin Twigg, Captain of HBT over a beer or two following the Jura Hill Race. To consummate the agreement for better union, Harry Gilmore, representing SRH shook on better relations and closer bonds between the clubs. Later this week, in the spirit of cooperation, Andy Fallas took the record for the Red Moss Kips race off HBT, and Mark allowed his old mate Twiggy to beat him for a change.
