So great to receive this from WMP Creative in London:

We have worked with Dougie on a number of occasions across a range of events and have always been impressed by the energy and professionalism that Dougie brings. He has a fantastic talent for bringing events to life and building an atmosphere amongst attendees of all ages – even most recently on a cold and drizzly Saturday morning! Dougie is also a valued member of our event delivery teams when we work with him, always on hand to offer help and operational support where required. We wouldn’t hesitate to work with Dougie again in the future.

A new event in a majestic setting

It was a fantastic October morning at Cluny Castle, Aberdeenshire, for the inaugural Cluny Castle Trail Run. Hundreds of participants descended to this beautiful location, as seen in The Queen (starring Dame Helen Mirren), to take part in a 10K, 5K or 2K fun run.

Thanks to Baron Cosmo Linzee Gordon, his wife Bronya and the WMP Creative team who made Dougie feel so welcome.

Macmillan Rob Roy Mighty Hike 2022

By Uncategorised

So great to be back for another year with Threshold Sports for Macmillian’s Rob Roy Mighty Hike.

Despite the weather being “interesting” the atmosphere was electric with so many people fundraising for Macmillan cancer support.

Over £1M was raised from this Mighty Hike alone.

Dougie was delighted to voice the start in Callander and finish in Killin.

Here’s a picture of him at the start line!

The sun shone in Stirling on Sunday 21st August where the re-branded Pedal Stirling Sportive (previously know as Pedal for Parkinson’s Stirling) took place for the eleventh year. Dougie did his thing with Kris playing tunes to keep riders and spectators amused from 8am – 5pm.

Sarah Lyall, events co-ordinator from Parkinson’s UK commented  It was fantastic having you and Kris there and, as always, you did an amazing job!! 

Here’s some pictures of the schenanigans, thanks to photographers David Mollison and Micah.

Reindeer Run 2021

By Uncategorised
Lovely to receive this:

 

We would like to extend our deepest thanks and appreciation to Dougie from Buena Vista Entertainments for supporting our South Morningside Primary Reindeer Run in December. 

Dougie generously gave his time and talents to make our event very special for almost 700 children.

He was professional, arriving early to set up and ensuring our event was launched with a bang. 

Most importantly, Dougie was brilliantly entertaining – dressed as reindeer, he was funny, caring and engaging.   

Everyone had a most enjoyable morning with the ‘funny reindeer’!

Karen Richmond , Depute Headteacher, South Morningside Primary School
