On the lead up to HM4 the Support Driver they had in place had to pull out due to work commitments. This left the Marchers in a bit of a pickle and as I wasn't working and had plenty of time on my hands I offered to step in and assist.

I have never looked back from that day and was made most welcome by the rest of the team - despite the miles these guys put in each day and how tired they get they never lose thier sense of humour (or thankfully direction)

I may only have been involved in one March so far, but have memories to treasure in abundance. However, don't think I'll be allowed to forget the incident with the Daffodils at the Hostel in Newtonmore.

"Don, think theirs a pot of flowers there, be careful as you go back"

We exit the minibus to discover that I had no trouble whatsoever locating the tub of Daffodils - Direct Hit!!!

Did a great job repotting them - "and would have got away with it if it wasn't for those pesky Marchers" - dobbed me in to the owner at the frst opportunity....lol

Allegedly I wasn't the first and the womans husband had warned her about putting the pot there....lol

With a father who has been involved in more Community and Scout work over the years than I care to remember I have been roped in to more than my share of charity work. Everything from sponsored walks and treasure hunts as a kid to Gang Shows, Flag Days, Selling Raffle Tickets, Canvassing local companies for cash and support and any one off another 101 succesful and not so succesful ventures.

The range of beneficiaries has been very broad and part of the appeal of the HM is the desire for those involved to invest locally and further afield.

Who else is there??? I was a Caley Fan pre-merger and it was an exciting and logical move for that to continue with ICT. The merger was messy and had it's casualties, but as far as I am concerned it was worth it in the end.

We owe a lot to those who fought for the merger and although I was against it at the time I will happily put my hand up and acknowledge that it is probably the best thing that ever happened to Football in Inverness.

This is one I've not shared with many people before - and it is strangely enough a memory of a game/season missed.

Those who know me will know I went through a bit of a rough time in my previous job and as a result suffered from chronic depression and a breakdown. For longer than I wish to recall I never so much as stepped a foot out over the door, never spoke to friends - in short I had become a total recluse.

I was listening to the radio the day we won the Division 1 Title and gained the right to promotion to the SPL - something inside my head clicked that day and I realised that I should have been there with friends and fellow supporters and that I had missed out on a moment that would (hopefully) never be repeated.

That was the turning point on my road to recovery and a moment that will remain with me forever more - as melodramatic as it may sound to some people, I believe ICT saved my life.

 I've done all the usual things that you do through school and the Girl Guides. I also did a 10 mile swim for Breast Cancer Care.

There have been so many but I have to say the first SPL game in Inverness against Dunfermline. Don't get me wrong, our cup victories against Celtic and Hearts were great, but to have SPL football in Inverness after only ten years was simply an amazing achievement.
