Presidents Report Russell submitted a report on the main highlights of the year and the various achievements of club members. Ray Wilby was presented with an inscribed Quaich and was made Hon Vice President for winning the World Masters Championship in the over 60 category. Kenny Riddle had a fine run in winning the Great Wilderness Challenge. Norman Maclennan battled his way through the West Highland Way to finish in 2nd place despite the heat and humidity. In the relay events the British Champs in Alva were enjoyed by all despite considerable difficulties in raising the teams. In the Great Glen the ladies did very well with only 4 members.
Treasurers Report Jonathan detailed the expenditure throughout the year . The current balance stands at £658. He proposed, and it was agreed by the meeting that we change the club account with the Royal Bank of Scotland to a Treasurers account with the treasurer secretary and president being able to sign cheques separately. He also reported that the membership for the year is 53 fully paid up with 9 outstanding.

Relay Races There was much discussion on this subject due to the hassle Inflicted on Russell when trying to organise the teams. It was agreed that in future a team leader be appointed to be in charge of each team and he would be responsible for all the organising for that team, liasing with Russell if required.
Devils Burden Relay Henry Blake will organise a team.
Brit Relay Champs Calder Valley Kenny Riddle will organise A team. Volunteers are required for other teams for this event as it would be good to get a few teams there.
