A belated post – apologies for the lateness. There club Christmas feed and awards night was held on Tuesday 7th December in the Crown Hotel in Peebles and was well attended by 24 members. It was great to get together after so long, and before the new Omicron variant and restrictions came along. Also it was really good to see so many new members too.
One of the parts evening included awards – some light hearted, but mainly giving deserved recognition to the considerable achievements over the past two years – there were no dinner and awards in 2020 due to Covid restrictions, and due to the number of cancellations.
Award shortlist
Thrills and spills claret award – Alan Elder. Rarely does a race go by without Alan taking a chunk out of a leg! Honourable mention to Andrew Dancer and Craig Henrys for their efforts at the Glentress races in 2020 http://moorfootrunners.blogspot.com/2020/02/normal-0-false-false-false-en-gb-x-none.html
