The Treasure Hunt

Prior to Monday’s night’s bunfight in Ashgill, Coltness Car Club staged a Treasure Hunt on the Sunday and despite the fiendish, twisted mind that pulled it all together (Ally again!) some of the crews actually found their way round (more or less) the whole route while tackling some ‘University Challenge’ grade questions.

Considering the malicious mind that came up with the associated quiz, resorting to Google or Wikipedia was no good, nor was encyclopaedia Britannica any use in finding the answers. In fact, the complete works of ‘Oor Wullie’ annuals would have been of more use given the level of intellect employed in compiling the questions!

As for clean sheets, that’s only what posh folk put on their weans’ beds so there was a lot left for the results checkers to consider, discuss and adjudicate before delivering their verdict at the finish, although no Protests were accepted and anyone mentioning the ‘Blue Book’ was docked even more penalties.

The winning survivors were the studious and stubborn Donald and Struan Young, with Jim (Chief Bear) and Ann Brown second, while Martyn (wait till his Ma sees the state of his tee-shirt!) Douglas and Ryan Dunbar were third with Malcolm Wilson once again pressed into presentation duty.

And whereas normally senior club officials would have been too embarrassed to receive such an award on a ‘home club’ event and would have declined, the runners-up suffered no such affliction.
