The motion
That the Parliament notes that 9 June 2019 marked the 50th anniversary of the Kilbryde Hike, which is a competitive weekend hike for 11- to 18-year-olds that covers a course of around 18 to 25 miles over two days in the hills and moors to the south of East Kilbride; understands that, although it is run by the Boys' Brigade, it is open to entries from all youth organisations, groups and schools, and other bodies; notes that this milestone anniversary year saw 30 teams take part, with 120 people participating in total; recognises that Willie Brownlie from East Kilbride launched the first hike in 1969 as the convenor of the Kilbryde Hike Committee and that, 50 years later, he is still on the committee; commends Willie on his commitment; welcomes him being presented with the original John Wright trophy to reflect his 50 years hard work with the event, and applauds the committee’s decision to name the new award, the Willie Brownlie Trophy.
