CANCELLATION OF STABLEFORD GREENSOMES

We had hoped to re-arrange the Stableford Greensomes  which were cancelled on August 3rd due the flooding at Buchanan Castle. We were offered a date  in September by Buchanan Castle, which we accepted, however, this has now changed and the Captain has reluctantly decided that due to conflicting Fixtures, the Stableford Greensomes will not take place this year.  We are very disappointed, but  hope to see  as many ladies as possible at the Autumn Meeting on Monday 21st August  at Dunblane.

The Treasurer will give those who had entered Buchanan Castle Greensomes a refund at Dunblane, if you are not playing at Dunblane the refund will be posted to you.

RETURN OF TROPHIES : We are starting to think about the 2017 AGM and prize-giving. If you have any trophies to return, please bring them with you to the  Autumn Meeting or make arrangements to have them returned to any member of the committee as soon as possible.
