JAMIE GINGER PIPS KEV TO WEEL-KENT FACE TITLE |
Sunday 22nd August 2010 Like last year’s competition, it was another nail-biting finish, with the tightest of two-horse races between Jamie Ginger and Kev for the title. In the end Kev managed to close the gap in the voting stakes that week by six votes, but it just wasn’t quite enough to ctach Ginger who peaked at the right time to be crowned 2010 ‘Weel-Kent Face’ winner, winning by 46 points. Indeed since the new voting and points system came into play in 2007, this year’s competition has been the most popular in the voting stakes, and the 5653 votes cast during the competition was more than double the amount cast in last year’s competition, easily beating 2007’s 3590 votes and 2008’s 4756 votes, which were won by Bobby and Nicola respectively. Hawick News sales were up on last year, Johnston Press Group’s best selling local paper even actually sold out over the weekend. Third placed Sandi would have won the competition most other years with her total, so Kev must’ve been gutted to not win with the total he had. Think Fitness Co-owner Stuart Oliver commented “There is certainly no waning in the popularity of this competition. Love it or hate it, it gets people talking in the town, and folk vote in their droves. Last week alone almost ten per cent of the population voted, and there wasn’t a Hawick News to be had, which says it all really”. “On behalf of everyone at Think Fitness, I’d like to thank once again all the task hosts who give up time and resources to make the competition the experience it is, and of course to this year’s gang of ‘faces’ who were as popular and as colourful as ever. As it turned out, whoever won out of Ginger and Kev would’ve thoroughly deserved it as would’ve Sandi to be fair, and I have to say gutted for Kev as he led for so long and was a great competitor. I am delighted for Ginger though as well, as he done everything with smile on his ‘face’, got stuck into every task, and made everyone laugh with his droll comments. Winning the ‘Weel-Kent Face title may even push him up the pecking order to be Cornet next year!” |

NEW CLUB WEB-SITE OFFICIALLY LAUNCHED |
Friday 7th May 2010 Welcome to our all new web-site. Over the years we've had our fair share of problems with web-sites. From our very first 'Microsoft Frontpage' site in 2001 progressing to our impressive flash site in 2003, we then kind of stood still due to the fact we never had the knowledge to properly manage these sites, and therefore relied on others to do so on our behalf. We had a web design and hosting company go bankrupt with the owner running away never to be seen again, we had a one man band who took over the site vanish into thin air, and in both cases we were left in limbo. Put off by our experiences, we've had a couple of years with just a holding page, with a link to a Bebo site, but now that is gone. We've always wanted to be able to control and manage our own site, but we've never had that knowledge until now. Thanks to Aly Worters at Pictogram Digital, we've quickly been able to formulate our ideas, and come up with a design and build that allows us to use our web-site as a business tool, rather than a point of reference. So please visit us regularly for the latest Club News, Gym Challenge information, Special Offers, and Class Timetables. If you have any suggestions regarding the web-site please do not hesitate on e-mail us, info@think-fitness.co.uk as we'd be delighted to hear from you. We hope you enjoy the changes. |
