Reiver’s new gazebo had a real baptism at Tweedbank, as the morning’s rain was a lot more persistent than expected. Be careful if you’re standing at the edge to avoid water off the roof running down the back of your neck, but the shelter round the computer on such a wet day pointed to a good investment for the club.

Well done Lindsey for a storming run to win the Club Championship and bad luck Yousuf for mistaking a “Yellow course” only control for a counter. The correct one wasn’t far away, so he might have still been runner up. Ian just pipped Faisal for second spot – all these runners making good decisions how to link controls as efficiently as possible, and just as important, which were the best ones to miss out.

Abbotsford House provided a good assembly and the underpasses enabled us to allow juniors to be fully competitive while staying safe. Good to have a such a big turnout of club members in such wet conditions, which made the morning’s splashing round Tweedbank with coils of wire to secure the units well worthwhile – but why did I chose so many trees of massive girth as control sites?!

Thanks to all for coming, and to Lindsey, Rob and Alan for invaluable help.
