Franco's Italian Restaurant Sponsor The Rollercoaster

It's "grazie mille a Franco" for agreeing to sponsor the inaugural Cademuir Rollercoaster to be held on Saturday 16 August. This is mostly thanks to how much Alan Elder spends in the restaurant, including blowing all his Three Bridges Handicap winnings that same night!

Franco launches the race - and a pizza - watched by the running waiter Adam, Lucas and Old Beardie

"Franco's" will appear on the race numbers and there will also be vouchers on offer as prizes for both the 3k and the 6k. Franco says his own running days are behind him so he has nominated his waiter of 16 years standing  Adam Tally to take part as the sponsor’s representative.

I am a bit of an Italophile and can honestly say that Franco's pizzas and pastas are as good as you'll get here in Scozia and definitely on par with true Italian homely cooking. (Does that make me a Francophile?) So get yourselves down there to sample the goods.

Race info and links to the course maps can now be found on the main club website. Further bulletins to follow.

"Mangia bene!"
