anyone fancy helping out some psychology students in their dissertation. shouldn't hurt too much. just need to be a female over 18.



Hi there,

We are two undergraduate researchers at the University of Edinburgh. We are being supervised by the Department of Psychology to conduct a study on Personality and Weight. This online study only takes 10 minutes every Tuesday, and runs until 1st December.

We desperately need women aged 18 and over to take part in our study. We only require weekly weight and personality measurements. It is quick, easy and all done online.

Any data you provide in this study remains completely confidential and participants will remain anonymous.

If you would like to take part in the study, please follow this link to fill out a consent form: http://goo.gl/forms/LTjMKJxU5V

You’ll then be emailed a personality and weight questionnaire early every Tuesday until December 1st to complete at your convenience that day.

If you have any questions or would like some further information, please contact us at psychologyofweight@gmail.com

Kind regards,
Amy and Lydia


Please do let us know if this would be possible.

Many thanks,

Lydia Gillott

linlithgow 10k

Ali has forwarded this on- anyone fancy a trot around the palace?

Hi There.
I'm writing to you again as a past supporter of the Linlithgow 10k.
Maybe you have already entered for this year's event, if not here is a reminder if you'd like to join us again in 2015!

As you already know it's one of the most scenic urban courses in Scotland if not the UK.
So don't delay get your entry away!
We are delighted to have on board again our major sponsors, CCW Business Lawyers. Their generosity has allowed us to continue to offer a comprehensive list of prizes.
The link to entry through Entry Central and lots more information can be found on our dedicated website page.
Linlithgow town is a great visit so why not make a day of it with the family and get the young ones to enter the fun run.

Looking forward to seeing you again on the day!
regards
Angus Gallie
Club President
and 
Race Secretary.

Vine trust barbecue at westwoods on windy saturday.

saturday the 15th dawned sunny [but breezy] so good for barbecuing post run. 
Clare R said a few words about the charity the barbecue was in aid of [The Vine Trust] link to her fundraising page here ;
http://www.vinetrust.org/fundraise/whitburn-2016
 we took a couple of pictures but it was quite breezy so we didn't hang about & headed out for the several runs, i'm sure the rest found that as soon as we started moving it was warm up time again. 
Andrew , Gail & Alistair Dean put on a great spread, which was pretty much dealt with by hungry runners & friends.
the veggies even had their own segregated grill [thankyou- that does mean a lot]
& the pudding/cakes disappeared as if there had been no starter burgers...
I'm

 not sure if anyone from westwoods really clocked what was going on but we were wearing our teeshirts at the start- then hoodies, hats,scarves, gloves.
thanks again to the deans for a magnificent effort, see you all again next week!
