Class of 2001 CRL Reunion
The 2001 CRL course had a great three day reunion in the Scottish Borders organised by Rob and Lucy Forrest. With nine out of the eighteen course delegates able to attend and fifteen years since our last reunion we had a lot of catching up to do.
Our first visit was to Cheviot Trees, a 30 year old family business producing annually some fifteen million cell grown trees and hedging plants covering over 500 varieties. We then went to Simpsons Malt, a 5th generation family managed and owned maltings who supply malt all over the UK and many overseas destinations.
On day two our first visit was to the Thorburn Group, a 3rd generation family business, at their new £5.3m purpose built engineering factory, manufacturing steel buildings and livestock equipment.
The final visit was to the Jim Clark Motor Museum where we were very lucky that we had a personal tour by Jim’s cousin, also a racing driver in his day. Jim was a local farmer who became World Motor Racing Champion on two occasions but was tragically killed in a race that he didn’t want to do but which was part of his contractual obligation.
Huge thanks to Rob and Lucy who not only organised the visit but also kindly provided lunch before we all set off on our journeys home.
