Junior call-ups
Two RR members have done well in the recently announced GB junior team selections. Douglas Tullie moves up from the GB Start Squad to the full GB Junior Team and Kirstin Maxwell joins the GB Start Squad as one of only 4 girls (all Scots!) in the W14 age group. Well done both!
Douglas gets his first competitive outing running at the Junior European champs in Switzerland on 13th-15th Oct.
Catering at the Big Weekend
We’re pleased to have Fat Pigs attending both the Harvester and Scottish O League events. They plan to start serving at about 5pm on Saturday, stay open right throughout the night, be available for breakfasts and keep going for the SOL during the day. They will have a vegetarian option in addition to their usual fare. If we’re lucky the local (italian) ice cream van will also stop by during the day.
