Club Night

The Club awards night was, by all accounts, a success as club members up on the dance floor having a ball, running around and bopping about until 11pm – for some of the oldies it was way past their usual bedtimes! Thanks to Barbara Oliver who did a great job with the trophies. It was fitting that a photographer from the Evening Telegraph turned up to snap all the winners which included Barbara [Club Person of 2011]. The photographer was heard to say "I've never seen so many fit looking people"!  The biggest round of applause of the evening was to acknowledge Ron McIntosh’s recent award and more recognition of the hard work put in by Liz McColgan.

All feedback on the venue, format, ticket prices etc will be most welcome. The combined cost of the Disco, Buffet and Trophy engraving was approximately £750 which excludes raffle prizes [some of which were donated] and also excludes the ‘thank you’ presentation gifts to the officials whose help was recognised on the night. Obviously, if there is any surplus from ticket sales, that will be ploughed back into club funds.

 

Jenny Wood Allan Races & Sport Relief Mile

Sunday, 25th March - Camperdown Park, Dundee; Jenny Wood Allan Races & Sport Relief Mile
Jenny was one of the best ambassadors and most inspirational people Dundee has ever produced - and on so many levels too.
Jenny passed away in December 2010, not far short of her centenary.
In the interval and with full approval of her family, a committee headed up by Ms Alex Knight of Dundee Leisure & Culture and assisted by many of Jenny's friends from the running community, have put together a celebration of Jenny's life in the form of a 6 mile, 3 mile and 1 mile running event in conjunction with the Sport Relief Mile.
This is to be an anuual event which will help raise money for charities dear to Jenny.
Ron McIntosh and myself along with others from the local running community have been at some of the planning meetings on behalf of the Hawkhill Harriers.
The organising committee are now looking for volunteers to help on the day with stewarding, marshalling, goody bags etc and have asked Dundee Hawkhill Harriers [& others] for help.
Can you help? Depending on what you end up doing, you'd be required from about 9am until early afternoon. Fuller details will be issued in due course. Any volunteers under the age of 16 would require to be with a responsible adult on the day. Obviously, some tasks will be suited to youngsters but not others e.g. with handing out goody bags at one end of the spectrum and supervising car parking at the other.
If you can volunteer to help out on Sunday 25th March, please get in touch with me as soon as possible, thanks.
Phil Forte (Secretary)
 

Cateran Trail results

The annual Cateran Trail relay race took place on Saturday with the Hawks entering two teams; a male team and a mixed team. The male team were first and were awarded the first team prize and although the mixed team were 6th overall and first mixed team, for some reason were denied this prize.

No results available yet but hopefully the results will reflect the performances of the teams.  well done the Hawks!
