Aviemore is on GO!

Just thought a quick update might be needed:

We have Sponsors !

HUSSE ( www.husse.com) is a new brand of Petfood in the UK and are very kindly sponsoring the Competitors' Sweatshirts for 2005 ......

Nick and Dominique Smith will be pleased to discuss their products and promotional details with you and look forward to meeting us all both at the Mushers' Meeting and on the Race Site.

This is very much a trial both on the part of the Company and the Club, but given sufficient interest, we hope that a more concrete arrangement for future years at Aviemore will result.

Pet Stop
6 High Street, Grantown-on-Spey and also
Dalfaber Industrial Estate, Aviemore (01479 872 204)

Carol & Mark of Pet Stop have kindly offered to sponsor the prizes for the Junior Races and would like to offer the following:

Notice to all teams participating in the SHCGB event in Aviemore in January 2005

To help lighten your load when travelling up north, to give you one less thing to think about.... Pre order your dogs food, treats etc. and either collect in Aviemore store, or we can deliver it to you.

Please enquire through either our web site or direct to the store at least 10 days prior to the event so that we can ensure your goods are in stock. We stock all major brands but remember - to avoid disappointment, please pre order.

On the weekend of the event, we will be there supporting you all and will run a delivery service from our Aviemore Store. So if you need anything on the day, please ask and we will be happy to get it for you. Keep a look out for some special offers on that weekend!
Look forward to seeing you there.

Nick Ridley Photography will be attending on the race days with his Crew and is going to be rather busy - we have another bumper entry of 211 Teams in the Main Event alone. A few of you have seen Nick in action at Yateley and Fineshades. The wonders of digital photography never cease to amaze and Nick's set-up is second to none.

Jeff Evans kindly pointed out this will be his fifth year of catering for us and looks forward to welcoming his on-site Assistant our own Lauren Peat. Mike Gettleson has forgotten how many years he has been coming up and running our timing systems, but both he and Jeff are now legends in their own lifetimes. In this year of much change, it is good to welcome back a few of the well-known faces, including another old-timer Laurie Fraser with his tannoy systems.

Little else to report, save the trail conditions are reported by Forest Enterprise as being:

• Inshriach - newly re-surfaced and in excellent condition
• Glenmore - work has been done at the Start and along the roadside, otherwise no heavy vehicles have been over the trails, which remain much as last year, although some sweeping of loose stones may be necessary in the event of there being no snow ……….

Little else to say save Alan, Lindsey, Kenny and I look forward to seeing you all in January save:

DON'T FORGET TO BRING YOUR BIB WITH YOU !

We shall be running on the Club's normal bibs and to forget is to find out how loud I can shout !
