Club Championships 2007 and AGM
Comments Off .jpg)
It was a Maxwell 1-2-3 at this year’s club Championships, which took place today at a snowy Bowhill. First place went to Kirstin Maxwell, ahead of sister Karen and mum Eileen.
Planner Robin Sloan followed the now traditional handicap format, with each club member being given a set number of controls to visit and first one back being the winner. Despite the wintery conditions, 16 club members took part, and the handicapping system was just about right.

Kirstin Maxwell won with a time 32:15, 20 seconds ahead of Karen, with Eileen finishing third in a time of 35:53. First man was John Tullie, who finished fourth with a time of 36:02, narrowly beating son Douglas.
After the fun of the race, and collecting in of controls, the action moved to the education centre for soup and rolls and the Club AGM. Following a very successful year for all of Roxburgh Reivers’ juniors, Kirstin added to her trophy haul with the RR Junior Trophy. Club Achievement Award went to John Tullie for his efforts in relation to the Harvester Trophy/SOL double-headed that Roxburgh Reivers hosted last June.

There was a good turnout at Harestanes, the runners taking a route through the woods and onto Peniel Heugh.
Unfortunately we weren’t able to parade the Inter Club trophy because, on a recount, we ended up 2nd. However, we enjoyed the meal and the banter at the Buccleuch Arms.
Report on 2006 Club Champs and AGM
Comments Off 
On a warm almost spring-like afternoon Planner Douglas Tullie found a welcome sun-trap for the Start/Finish area just off the vista from Bowhill House and 20 members were soon sweating their way round the forest. Each competitor had an individual handicap to collect a set number of controls before they could return and it was Andrew Tullie, targetted to find 16 of the 18 controls, who flew across the finish line in 26.10mins closely followed by newcomer Colin Ross in 26.47 mins. First lady was Karen Maxwell in 28.46 mins.
The Planner had obviously done his job well as there were tall tales of wrong route choices, missed controls and lots of “if only…”
Having collected the controls in the action moved to the Education Centre in the courtyard where the ladies presided over a couple of microwaves to produce haggis, neeps and tatties for everyone. Douglas Henderson brought a home-made cake complete with Reivers logo – Masterchef beware !
Judy called the AGM to order and gave us an overview of the positive state of the Club. The committee were re-elected en masse, Douglas Tullie was awarded the Junior Trophy for the year and Lindsey Knox accepted the Club Achievement award. Andrew Tullie collected the Club Championship trophy plus the dubious honour of bringing it back next year dressed in the correct colour of o-top.
