Many congratulations to everyone who took part in this year's RQ. It was a fantastic day with many happy, smiling people. A huge thank you to the organising team under the direction of Dhileas Lukas. They did a brilliant job which ensured that the day ran smoothly at a new venue. Thank you too to the team from East Fife & Scooniehill for once again organising the Countryside Challenge, and to Ravelrig and Muirfield Groups for supporting us at short-notice with the catering. A final thank you to everyone who came along to be Stewards, Writers, Tack-Checkers, Runners and helpers who made the day the success it was.
