Following on from the Saturday morning event at Bowhill on 18 February, the annual Club championships will take place.

If you would like to take part please let Rob Cranston know (email secretary@roxburghreivers.org.uk).
The Club Championships will be followed by a haggis lunch in the visitor centre at Bowhill and the 2006 AGM.
Parking is at the top car park.
Roxburgh Reivers will be hosting several events over the next month or so.
Firstly, there will be Saturday morning events at Gala Hill (21 January) and Bowhill (18 February). These events are aimed at newcomers to the sport and existing club members looking for a training run, with Yellow (easy), long Yellow (easy, for runners) and Orange (some experience advisable) courses on offer.
Starts will be from 10:30am to 12 noon, and entry fees will be £2 for seniors and £1 for juniors.
For more information, please contact either John Tullie (for the event at Gala Hill) or Rob Cranston (for the event at Bowhill).More details available from the Fixtures page.
The club Christmas lunch will take place at the Glentress Hotel on 3 December, after ESOC’s local event at Glentress (see the Fixtures page for more details). The cost is £14.50 for three courses and coffee (see the menu choices).
If you can make it please let Judy McNeilly know as soon as possible so that she can confirm numbers with the hotel – email to turkeyandstuffing@roxburghreivers.org.uk.

The Club’s new O-tops have finally arrived from Norway and have apparently already been attracting admirers in the forest!
The tops are available in two styles, the “baggy” style modelled here and a more sporting slimline fit and are made by Norwegain kit manufacturer Trimtex.
If you would like one, John has a limited number of spares – otops@roxburghreivers.org.uk.
