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.
