PRESENTATION OF PRIZES

Now that the Green has closed for the season, It's time for the Presentation of Prizes.

I have been trying to arrange this with The Royal for Wednesday 20 or 27 November but unfortunately they are closing Tuesdays & Wednesdays all November.
I have provisionally booked Wednesday 4 December & will start taking bookings to see how it goes.

It will be a buffet similar to last year's & I will confirm the cost once I know.

Look forward to hearing from you as soon as possible.

Raffle prizes would be most welcome too.

THANKYOU TO CO-OPERATIVE FUNERALCARE - DUNOON

The Club was delighted to receive 12 bowling mats and 12 scorecard holders from the Dunoon Branch of Co-op Funeralcare.

This has been a great boost to the Club as several of our mats are rather the worse for wear.

President John was happy to welcome Scott Richmond, Manager, to accept this kind donation.
