TEAM members from the Glasgow Warriors rugby club are getting ready for the competition of their lives as they judge 45 scantily-clad volunteers zipping 1,000 feet across the river Clyde on Sunday 12 September to help Epilepsy Scotland.
Peter Murchie and Dave McCall from Glasgow’s rugby team have the difficult task of judging the most creative pants worn by zip sliders (over their trousers!) to support Epilepsy Scotland’s new ‘Pants to stigma’ awareness raising campaign.
These Glasgow Warrior representatives will present the proud winner with the prize, kindly provided by Boudoir of Merkland Street, Glasgow and Tony Macaroni restaurant on Byres Road.
With such great supporters it’s sure to be a pant-tastic event!
