FINALS SOON TO HAPPEN

Sorry for taking so long to get back on the case. I decided to get rid of all the negative rubbish and get back to the start with just good information on all the kids success stories and bin the politics.

I have also got Neil McGeachy and Jimmy Addison authoring to keep the site more up to date with Scotland wide info.

We will soon get invites about the Scottish Championships Final on the 31st May at Extreme Dream so don't worry about not recieving stuff yet. If you are top 5 you are through and entered.

We need all BIG first place trophies back please - make sure they come on the day or you'll need to deliver them personally. It would be nice either to recieve itr again! or pass it on to the next Scottish First Place.

I'II keep more information posted about forthcoming events.

Thanks for all parents support with Coaching sessions over the winter with the stars - it certainly has paid off up here and I look forward to seeing Scotland South at the final.

Good Climbing everyone
