The SOUL series restarts after its summer hiatus, with the next events in Perth and Elgin later in September.  Entries are open for both.

The headline news is that we’re now back to thirteen events in the series.  Having lost one event early one due to ‘permissions’, a replacement for it has been recently added.  Accordingly, the series will revert to being being the best seven scores for all senior classes. although the junior classes will remain best six scores.

The weekend saw the return of the Junior Inter-Area competition.  Juniors from East, North and West gathered in Pitlochry for a weekend stay which allowed juniors from 12 clubs to compete as teams for their region in relay and individual races. The overnight stay allowed them all to mix and meet other juniors outwith their club/ region.  

All juniors gathered at Black Spout on the edge of Pitlochry to start the weekend with the relay races.  North won the relay by 28 points claiming 1st and 2nd in the open category  and 1st and 3rd place in the junior girl category.  West claimed the other podium places but East can claim credit for fielding juniors from each of their member clubs!

Results have been compiled and we can publish the trophy and medal winners from the Scottish Night Championships. Congratulations to all the medal winners and to those taking home the coveted titles of Scottish Night Champions!
