Jimmy Wishart, an active member of the club for many years, still joins us on the occasion of the Haggis Gala .

Mixed Singles – A Wonderful Day
The competition for this event started early this month but waited until today to get it completed. Some wonderful games were played throughout the day, watched by interested members and the final wasn’t completed until 5.55pm The cotula green was in great condition and the players appreciated the work that had been done to bring it up to such a …
A Windy Gala
It took some believing that yesterday we were playing in a ‘summer’ gala.
