scooby222 Posted March 20, 2014 Share Posted March 20, 2014 As many of you will know we lost one of the original and biggest club characters last year in a motorbike accident, as a mark of respect that he would have loved a group of us renacted one of his favourite runs at the end of last year and sold stickers from the club shop that were proudly displayed on all cars attending. The money raised from the sticker sales and donations came to £400 and was recently handed over to Higgy's partner Mel Brooks to be used, amongst other things, for a bench with his name on it at his local mountain bike track that he was very passionate about. Mel and Abby, Higgys baby daughter, wanted the following message passed on to everyone involved Hi Davie, can you please pass on my thanks to the Club that's a fantastic cheque! I thank everyone from the bottom of my heart, yourself, Dale, Cathy, Dave everyone for everything you've done. Thank you again xx Link to comment

mctwistuk Posted March 21, 2014 Share Posted March 21, 2014 I just want to thank Chris aka gumball for coming up with the idea and well done to everyone. Higgy would have been proud Link to comment
thebigfelly Posted March 21, 2014 Share Posted March 21, 2014 Well done and fab run too even a few storys to add with the queen being up.and rumbling into the village full of cops . Escorts driving hard through the back roads supposedly. and renaults trying to stick wi subarus.. Whos up for a repeat Link to comment
scouk Posted March 21, 2014 Share Posted March 21, 2014 Could be worth a repeat.. The single BBQ run we had before the full highland fling event was pretty cool! encouraged people from all corners of scotland to converge in one central-ish place. That was a good event to get like minded folks together for a bit of banter. Without worrying about multiple fillups. for the journey Link to comment
scooby222 Posted March 26, 2014 Author Share Posted March 26, 2014 Good idea Al, that was a cracking day out - had a BBQ in the car park where the Police had a quiet word with us Paul, good turnout and there and back in a day. Food for thought indeed..... Link to comment

scooby222 Posted March 27, 2014 Author Share Posted March 27, 2014 nah, would have been 2006 I think - my car was standard it was that long ago lol Link to comment
scouk Posted March 28, 2014 Share Posted March 28, 2014 There were a couple early highland Flings up from central belt to Tomintoul around 2006-2008, but last one met up at Crathie for BBQ in 2008, where it was a joint meet from north, south and east scotland groups coming together as one. Just found the event thread: http://forums.sidc.co.uk/topic/112099-highland-run-blether-format-edited That brings back good memories Link to comment
