theprisioner Posted May 14, 2014 Share Posted May 14, 2014 From Neville Mackay.....Hi Everyone We had a great trip to Eyemouth last month with 11 cars making the journey there and 11 making it back! The next Borders Sevens event, which is again a joint event with the Westfield Club, takes place on Sunday 25 May. The event consists of a run from Edinburgh down the A7 via Heriot to Innerleithen, and thence via the Megget Water road to Tweedsmuir, Moffat, St Mary’s Loch and Selkirk. We should then arrive in Ashkirk at about 1.30pm for the annual BBQ which takes place at my house. This is a great opportunity to chew the cud socially with the members of both groups, so even if you don’t fancy the blat please feel free to attend the BBQ, you will all be very welcome. The meeting point is the Sherifhall Park and Ride in Edinburgh at 11, o’clock. If you would like to come on the run but would rather meet up at the Moffat end of the route, please let me know and we can arrange separate rendezvous arrangements. And if you just want to come to the BBQ but don’t know where I live, please also let me know and I will send you directions. In order to get a feel for the numbers – which will assist greatly with the catering arrangements – it would be helpful if those intending to attend could let me know. Ditto for those with any special dietary requirements. Gillian and I make no charge for the BBQ but we do pass a bucket around to collect for Hemi help, which is a charity which assists people with hemiplegia. I do hope that as many of you as possible are able to come along and join in the fun. This is the fifth or sixth year that we have held the BBQ and it hasn’t rained yet!

DonPeffers Posted May 16, 2014 Share Posted May 16, 2014 Yes I will be there on the 25th and will see you at 11am for the run. I am veggie so not easy for a BBQ. The A7 seems to have a few roadworks but not easy to avoid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
