AGM 2022 and Gullane Rock Winner announced
The club's AGM was held last Thursday at the Charwood Grill. Read on to find out who's in and who's out on the committee, and to discover the winner of the club's coveted Gullane Rock award ...
Interlopers' AGM was held on Thursday 22nd September at the Charwood Grill in Edinburgh. Chairman Colin presented his thoughts on the previous year, covering notable achievements on the international scene by club members, and including a review of the previous year's events (this was a team effort). Treasurer Robin then presented the accounts, with the club back to a healthy surplus that will be invested, at least in part, in new lightweight fibreglass stakes for controls to replace the ageing, somewhat bent, and certainly heavier existing metal ones.
The new committee bears an uncanny resemblance to the last one, with only 1 change:Mike Stewart will replace Ali Masson as an ordinary member. Fiona Eades was confirmed as Junior Rep.
Club Secretary John also announced his nomination for the Gullane Rock for this year with the following citation:
'This afternoon, I was struggling to trawl through past issues of the Club Newsletter, looking for mentions of my nominee for the award of the Gullane Rock for 2022. The first honourable reference I found came in an issue of Summer 1991, in which there was a report of the British Relay Championships held near Alnwick, when he, together with Pakit Hyman and Andy Kitchen, won the Mens Open event. There were almost certainly many more noteworthy performances in previous and subsequent years, but these were too numerous to mention (and I eventually gave up looking).
However, his more recent contribution to Club activities came in 2011, when he took over from Anthony Squire as Club Captain. Since then, of course, we have all been bombarded by numerous e-mails, exhorting us to volunteer for the many Relay teams, from the JK to the British, from the CompassSport Trophy to the Harvester. Suffice to say that his efforts to involve us all have met with a great deal of success, as witnessed by the winning of the CompassSport Trophy for three years in succession (2016 to 2018).
I should also mention that he, together with Ken, was part of the original expedition to source the Gullane Rock in 2012.
So I’m delighted to nominate as this year’s recipient of the Gullane Rock the one and only Rob Lee. '
Well done to Rob - keep up the good work!
