Jock Thorburn: District Quiz v Kelso

 A round of the Rotary District quiz was held at last week's meeting of the Rotary Club when Hawick met Kelso.  President Scott Elliot welcomed members and guests Brian Beattie and quiz master Allan MacCredie.  Hawick was represented by Ron Smith, Ron Sutherland, Jim Walker and Gus Neilson and the Kelso team was Vice President Stan Yates, Anne Wright, Gordon Euman and Mick Perry.  The contest was very closely fought until the final round when Hawick drew away to win by 22-16.  The scorers were Sandy Bannerman and Mick Wright.  Last Friday night's film showing of "Sunshine over Leith" at the Tower Mill was a sell-out and part of the profits realised are going to the Rotary campaign of "End Polio Now" and the club wish to thank the members of the public who supported the event and the money accrued will be published at a later date.
