Jim Rowley made the Journey Eastwards to compete in what was a very gruelling EDINBURGH MARATHON. With the first 3 miles taking in Edinburgh's famous Arthur's Seat, it was not an ideal start. This followed by an 8 mile stretch along the coast against a stiff breeze, meant that personal bests times were going to be difficult to come by. However Jim being an experienced marathon runner, dug in deep to his reserves to finish with a time of 3hrs 15mins 03secs in 93rd position. This also gave him 3rd in the M55 category.

The final match of the SCOTTISH ATHLETICS LEAGUE, saw the Senior Men's team cruelly relegated on what turned out to be a two match league. Having finished in 5th place in the first match the team travelled to Scotstoun with hopes of staying in Division 1 for a third successive year. However due to some late call offs, it wasn't to be as the team finished in 6th place on the day and due to a cruel set of results finished bottom of the league on the same amount of league points as three other clubs. However on match points the team lost out by a mere 5.5 points. Final positions were as follows
