A BIG THANK YOU TO EVERYONE WHO TOOK PART IN THE LANGLAND'S ROSE BOWL CHARITY GAME.

IT WAS 1995 WHEN THIS GAME WAS LAST PLAYED SO A  PARTICULAR VOTE OF THANKS MUST GO TO THE ORGANISERS BOB AND JAN LINDSAY AND TO EVERYONE ELSE WHO WORKED SO HARD BEHIND THE SCENES TO BRING THE COMPETITION BACK TO LIFE AND HELP MAKE IT A HUGELY SUCCESSFUL DAY.

SPECIAL MENTION MUST GO TO  'LITTLE'S FUNERAL SERVICES' FOR THEIR EXTREMELY GENEROUS SPONSORSHIP OF THE TOURNAMENT WHICH AMOUNTS TO ONE THOUSAND POUNDS EVERY YEAR FOR THE NEXT FIVE YEARS.

MONEY RAISED FROM THE RAFFLE, DONATIONS AND OTHER SOURCES BOOSTED THE GRAND TOTAL BY ANOTHER EIGHT HUNDRED AND FIFTY POUNDS. THANK YOU TO EVERYONE.

AS FOR THE SMALL MATTER OF WHO WON, WELL THE WINNING TEAM WAS FROM LINTHOUSE ALTHOUGH CARDONALD DID HAVE A PART TO PLAY WITH OUR VERY OWN DAVID (TV)ELLIOT STANDING IN FOR ONE OF THE LINTHOUSE PLAYERS WHO UNFORTUNATELY WASN'T ABLE TO PLAY.

Many congratulations to Willie Whyte, Allan Lavetty, Malky McGeachy and Len Davies who won the R.B.A. RINKS today with a convincing win over Renfrew B.C. in blustery conditions at Victoria B.C. Greenock.

It is 53 years since Cardonald last won this trophy, so well done again guys.

A good Friday 13th for C.B.C. who won both the Ladies and Gents 'Elder Cup'.

Congratulations to our Ladies' team of Liz Lavetty Cath French, Mai Hood and Dorothy Young, as well as our Gents' team of Willie McKechnie, Alex Young, Paul Fitzpatrick and Alex Hunter.

That is a repeat of last year's success - so three in a row next year??

Definitely worthy of a wee gold star.

We will be represented at Northfield again this year by our senior fours team of Allan Lavetty, Ronnie MacDonald, Freddie Farquhar and Kenny Brine along with our pairs team of Alex Hunter and Robert Smith.

Congratulations to all of them on reaching the Scottish Finals and good luck on the big day.
