I received an email from Romie Scott regarding the Norham 10K shield for fastest femail team which we won last year (see below). Does anyone know the whereabouts of the shield and if so can they get it to Norham club before 30th? I am hoping to be at the Thirlestane 5 mile race on september 23rd and can hand it over then if someone locates it.
Hi Dawn
Welcome to the 2007 Norham 10K. I attach a copy of this year’s entry form. Please feel free to copy it and pass it on to others.
Could you please arrange to return the Tweed Refrigeration Shield that you won last year as a member of the winning Female Team along with Jane Chalmers and Melanie Goodson. We would appreciate receiving it before 30th September, the date of this year’s race, if at all possible. Perhaps you could pass it to any Norham R.C. member at some preceding event, or arrange to dispatch it to me some other way, which failing please confirm with me that you will bring it to Norham on the morning of 30th September.
Looking forward to seeing you then.
Romie Scott
