Boxing Day event

A good turnout of 19 bodies plus Lindsey and Jim (planner and number-cruncher) enjoyed a run around Wilton Park in Hawick on Boxing Day.  In a close-run competition Andrew Tullie just prevailed over John Tullie and Paul McGreal.  Sarah Tullie took first female prize and Emma Amos had a convincing win in the “youngest competitor” category.  Food and banter took place in the hall afterwards and a good time was had by all.  The format this year was a crossword with the answers on fixed signs, notices, gratings, padlocks etc in the park.
