Scottish Area Meeting

Today our branch were host to the Scottish Area Meeting it was well attended by our members and visitors from areas around Scotland. The meeting was chaired by S/m Brian Mackenzie. We thank S/m Joan Lowe, Anne McKinnon and Rita Fox for an excellent buffet. There was a raffle which raised a goodly sum for the area coffers. The meeting was closed with the loyal toast. The next area meeting will be held on 15 December in Perth.

BBQ 21 September

We held our second BBQ of the year which turned out to be successful but the lack of members has to be deplored. The food was excellent as usual and we thank S/m Brian Mackenzie and his wife Irene for such a fine repast. We need the members to support these events and not leave it to a few staunch members and thier friends.

Awards

To celebrate the Queens Jubilee year three of our members received awards for their loyal support of our branch throughout the years. They attended meetings, outings and functions such as dances, dinners and BBQ's etc. It was an honour to present S/m's Edward Hardie, William Bannerman and Thomas Gates with these certificates and on behalf of the members the committee thank them for their support.
