Also a big thank you to everyone who sponsored myself this year in the Pedal Scotland Glasgow to Edinburgh cycle event (50 miles) I achieved the run in 2hrs 40 mins and all the money raised will be going to the children’s cancer charity in Edinburgh called CCLASP.

That didn't paste so well onto the forum. Just to make it clear,

Thank you and congratulations to all the winners, I'm off to get my trophy engraved.

Well done, how many palms did you have to grease ?

Them all, it's cost me a fortune.

I got the award on Wednesday night at the meeting, one of the guys had been at the PCGB meeting the night before and there were only 4 people there, 2 of which got the bus? We had 21 people and a full car park, so it's tough competition.

Graham Morrison had just got out of hospital, and said he came because it makes him feel better, so I was quite humble when someone has got out their sick bed for the company of a few mates. Club night is one of the highlights of the month up here, we have a good laugh and it is great company.

Got to make a personal trip back to the motherland soon, will try to arrange it around a club night if possible, but will be in the mile muncher, congrats on the award
