In reply to Border Bogie Challenge, Denholm, Scottish Borders:

After some delay we can now confirm that BB2014 will be going ahead on Saturday 24th May as originally planned.

For the past three years the Reivers 4X4 Club have provided the towing and additional backup for BB and they will now take over the organising of the event in its entirety.

The outgoing committee would like to thank everybody for the wonderful patronage and help that Border Bogie has enjoyed over the past five years. Hopefully Reivers 4X4 will enjoy the same level of support which in turn will enable them to continue with the event and build on the previous success of the Border Bogie Challenge. 

Entries will now open on the 1st February 2014.
