Weel-Kent Face 2006
The third year of the competition saw the competition grow in popularity again, and it was girl power as females grabbed the top three places. Dental Hygienist Hazel Cameron was crowned the first female winner, coming from behind to snatch the title on the final day of competition.
Winner - Hazel |
|
Hazel is pictured here at Ian and Liz Logan's first Clay Pigeon Shooting task for the Weel-Kent Face competition, and what a dark horse she was. Hazel is still a gym regular these days, and on the back of the competition, Hazel raised over £12,000 with her 'Daffodils For Life' campaign, and every year for evermore Hawick people can enjoy the daffodils Hazel planted (single-handedly!) on the roadsides on the A7 Northbound on the outskirts of Hawick. |

The photo opposite sums up game-for-a-laugh Ian Cook perfectly, who was relentless in his quest for fun during the competition. Not content with donning his Sumo suit during the Wrestling task at Party On The Pitch, Cookie turned up for the final task the following day, which was 'Haig's Hike' dressed as Superman! |
Derek |
|
Photographer Derek Lunn is game for laugh during the Archery task, and although Derek contributed a lot to the competition his biggest contribution was to organise the very first end of competition night out, which is the an annual ritual. Derek also organised a group photo before the night out, which he kindly presented to every 'face' as a momento. |
Fordy |
|
The Fordmeister followed in his Mum Helen's footsteps becoming the second member of the Ford family to take part in the competition. Graeme went on to pen the local showstopper 'Diesel' and can be found regularly cutting up the fairways at the Vertish, where he has hosted a couple of Golf tasks as part of the competition since. |
Jackie |
|
Fronting her and husband Nick's bakery restaurant cafe Brydon's Jackie Powolny was in the ideal place to canvass for votes and was so close to winning only to be pipped for first place on the last day, and eventually finishing runner-up. Jackie is pictured incorporating her dance skills into the Launch Class, which unluckily didn't earn her any extra votes! |
Rob |
|
Football coach Rob Shiel catches his breath during the early morning Boot Camp task. Another who put so much into the competition, it was ironic that 'Rob's Rap' in the Laughing Buddha Chinese Restaurant at the end of competition night out went down as his 'best bit', and as one of the most unforgettable moments in competition history! |
