Does the club already know about this and asked if we could see an Imp Club Decal in there ?

John

The Club was aware of a similar endeavour with the Police Imp, details were in Impressions, I have been chasing information which has not been forthcoming from the organiser. We will follow up on the new plans and see where it leads.

Thanks for bringing it to our attention.

Is this not the same event rather than a similar one?
If I told you I was a pathological liar, would you believe me?

I have no idea Baz, popped up in a newsfeed, passed on as seen, my work is done as they say

Adam G just did a similar run ina more modern car and I know of at least 3 others on similar runs.

I would have missed it completely if there had not been one with the nice graphic and caricature 8) as it was the graphics that caught my eye so was just lucky a scroll stopped in right place.

Scotts got it covered so all good.

Baz

I have no details purely speculation, maybe evolved would be a better word :?: :?: :?:

Originally the Lanarkshire Police Historical Society http://www.lphs.org.uk/ was the main participant, check out article in Impressions, so somethings have changed and as I said have been trying to get information from the contact we had but had little response.

I will keep everyone informed when I actually know something.

Just to let everybody know - this is the same event described in the April Impressions. Both Scott and I have tried several times to get further details from Ally but, as far as I am aware, this is the first time he has given any route details,

Please do support the charity road run if you can.
