Scottish Athletics Awards Dinner
The Awards were hosted by Bryan Burnett with Paula Radcliffe as the guest speaker and amongst the awards being presented were three jogscotland awards. These awards were given to reward the hard work and determination shown by the individual or group. With Peterhead jogscotland walking away with two of three awards, it was a night that Peterhead jogscotland members will not forget.
The first award was the jogscotland ‘Achiever of the Year’. This award is designed to recognise an individual’s accomplishments through the jogscotland programme. The nominees were all amazing but the judges had unanimously voted for one person as winner for this accolade for 2008 and that was David Whyte. David’s 
transformation since joining jogscotland has been nothing short of amazing. A year after joining the first ever men’s only jogging group in West Dunbartonshire, David has shed 8 stone and has completed his first ever 10K and half marathon.
It was wonderful to be part of the celebrations and all the chat around the table was how many runs we will be doing in 2009, Stephen has signed himself up for his first one in early January whils the rest of our Team have been some what slow in coming forward.
We would also like to thank jogscotland for the wonderful write up we have used and also for being wonderful host at our table.
Crongatualtions to all and dont forget to sign up for 2009 Corporate Challenge.
