e Andrew’s report Well done to all the Westies who braved the weather and turned out in their finery for the Xmas Handicap. Don Reid took the race win with Alwyn putting in the quickest time. Apologies for the delay getting the results together, a combination of rain and steamed up glasses combined to make

Arrival at the (permanently closed) Ben Lawers visitor centre indicated something
Westies Wimmin rule at Kaim! 4 wimmin and 3 men ventured down to North Ayrshire for the first mid-week Kaim hill race. 36 runners in total (apparently a marked improvement on previous numbers despite a clash with Troon Tortoises 10K). Out of 5 female runners, Westies placed 1, 2, 3 and 4! 1st Lady Helen
Four fearless Westies ventured off the hills (we did them at the weekend) to the roads of the Rouken Glen 10k last night. Gillian and I claim to have been coerced into this by Ian and Andy. (They had pre-entered.) “Just treat it as a training run” we were told. It’s reported to be a
Until Monday evening, there was some doubt whether the Tour of Clydeside 2007 would be a series or a Monday night only race. There were few entries and a commitment to big prizes would make the series unviable. However, following a mini revolt by the runners and their suggestion of dispensing with prizes, it was
