A great turnout as usual - thanks to the members who stepped in last minute to make up for a late cancellation.

A fantastic day of bowls culminating in the most entertaining final ever witnessed.

Congratulations to the worthy winners, father and son team Billy & Jack Small, who took the honours for a third time.

Hangovers for the runners-up - the twa Dougies (Dougie Park and Dougie Dyke).

A great day with thanks to all the organisers - Alan Walker, Robert Thomson & Dougie Park and also a big thank you to the catering team - Caroline Walker, Carol-Anne McFarlane & Grace Craigie and as always to the bar staff - Elaine Small & Any Dall and who kept us all fed and watered.

Thanks to everyone who participated and especially to Robert Thomson for organising and running the comp on the day and Grace and the other bar volunteers.

There were some really tight group stages and the past 2 winners were worthy semi finalists - Cian Kinnell and Jock McFarlane. 

Congratulations to Ken Stickings who won the final against Linda Parker.

The weather held and a great day was had by all.

At our Opening Day 2025, a Life Membership was bestowed upon Bernie Montague in gratitude for his services to the club including an incredible 9 years as President. A hugely well deserved honour.
