Whilst Thom Evans was battling the elements at Scotstoun at the weekend brother and former Hawk Max now at last jets off to join Scottish team in Australia
Both brothers have been heavily influenced by Margot Wells including the famous speed ball sessions that so helped husband Alan to Olympic glory back in 1980
