On a breezy night in April, the riders congregated at the Kippen roundabout and were heartened to find the wind in their favour. This led to some excellent times that will do wonders for the confidence. Ian King powered to first place in 10 minutes 8 seconds. 2nd was triathlete Andy Turnbull, coming in only 4 seconds behind at 10:12. Rounding out the podium was Rob Wilkins in 10:20,disappointed not to have made his pre-race target of breaking the 10 minute mark. Special mention to Sam Shaw, who was riding his first ever TT and did a solid 12 minutes dead. Sam is on the Cycling Plus reader team and he is featured in the magazine over the coming months as he aims to break his goals. Rob Wilkins won the 10 in May, which was a tight affair. Andy Turnbull reckoned he was level with Rob, with Ian King 10 seconds down at the turn, but the eventual winner (Rob) put in over 40 seconds over his nearest rival on the back straight, finishing in a blistering 21:36. This event also saw the first appearance of the famous Mark “Leadlegs” Leadbetter, who rode 24:00 dead.

(see P6) Many more club riders sign up for races in the summer.As well as the Scottish Cross Country (SXC) series there are endurance events that are either entered as teams or individuals such as the 10 under series and the Merida Marathons. Not only are these events a great challenge, they are also a great way to socialise and bond with other club riders at the campsites and race areas.

    RACE HANDBOOK 47th Edition - 10th June 2012 Girvan: South Ayrshire 1 | P a g e Welcome to the 47th South Carrick David Bell Memorial Race Here we go again! Can it really be a year since our last outing? Time plays tricks for sure, but fresh and vivid are my memories of watching Rapha-Condor-Sharp’s James McCallum conquer our strada grigio before launching his audacious winning attack. As cycling-journalist Ed Hood observed “I didn’t think sprinters were meant to win on their own!” Ours is a race we refer to as a Scottish ‘monument’ and 2011 will long be remembered a classic; not only for the unfolding drama of the race but also the stunning backdrop. Goosebumps watching the bunch ascend onto the barren moor road above Dalmellington; the thrill of seeing the pack rocket around the twists and turns of the Loch Doon road, and the cacophonous racket and dust cloud as we hit the now-fabled Carrick Forest Drive for the very first time! “I was there” – that’s all we’ll ever need to say. This year, our 47th Edition, sees our race grow again with our promotion to ‘National A’ status. We welcome our title sponsors, South Ayrshire Council and South Carrick Community Leisure, who have bought into our vision to put the Davie Bell on the national and international stage by 2015. This will mark the 50th running of the event honouring our club founder, and popular wordsmith David E.T. Bell. What would Bell make of the race run in his name? If truth be told he was no racer, but as an adventurer and pioneer I like to think he would admire our bold ambitions.

With a piper leading the way, it was then on to a press conference to share the elation with the Scottish media.

  • Bothwell Parish Church Kirkyard
    Bothwell Parish Church Kirkyard Bothwell Historical Society 2017 Bothwell Parish Church Kirkyard Bothwell Historical Society 2017 Bothwell Parish Church kirkyard record of gravestones 2017 Bothwell Historical Society Index Foreword!!!!!!!Reverend Jim Gibson The Kirkyard of Bothwell!!!!Jack Gallacher Introductory Notes Joanna Baillie Plan of Kirkyard Record of gravestones from Area A to Area O Graph of Age Distribution Graph of Date of Interments Index Foreword It is documented that for over a thousand years a church building has stood on the site of the present Bothwell Parish Church. During medieval times most burials were simply into unmarked graves with the exception of the great and the good of society who were buried within their church and commemorated by means of plaques and memorials on walls or slabs on floors. Following the Reformation in Scotland in 1560 such burials within churches became illegal. The erection of memorials to mark the graves of loved ones then developed. In common with other historic churches, Bothwell Kirk’s churchyard reveals much to the keen eye about changes in Scottish social history. Throughout, it boasts many fine examples of the different designs such monuments depict, each telling its tale about the deceased’s status, trade or profession: from obelisks and chest tombs to flat stones, free- standing crosses, broken columns and various sculptures. Working in partnership with South Lanarkshire Council Bereavement Services (Churchyards), the church has undertaken a restoration scheme for the Bothwell churchyard. Sadly, many gravestones are badly weathered or suffering effects of past vandalism. Before more damage takes its toll, members of the Bothwell Historical Society were invited to catalogue those that can still be identified.
