In June 2003, Team members joined forces
with Police Officers from Galloway Division,
and along with their friends and families
mounted a challenge to serve a three course
dinner for the 31 intrepid walkers on top
of the Merrick. The Merrick, at 843 metres,
is the highest peak in our area and with
the support of 4X4 quad bikes, the caterers
attempted the precarious trip to the summit.
Regrettably, due to a severe technical problem
with one of the bikes, the venue for the
dinner had to be changed to the nearby Bennan
Hill.

The team were well rewarded for their efforts
and a total of £1530 was raised
for team funds. Our thanks go to our
friends at Dumfries and Galloway Constabulary
and to the following businesses who helped
in one way or another - 'The Brigend Cafe',
'The Gift Horse at Hendersons', 'Costcutters'
and 'Dine by Helen', all Newton Stewart;
'The Walled Garden Caravan Park', Maybole.
A great day was had by all .......... and
it perhaps leaves the challenge open for
another year!!
