SCOTTISH VETS v. IRISH at BARASSIE LINKS TROON

Pat Bow, Past Captain and myself spent 2 days with the Scottish Vets at Barassie Links this weekend in support of the Scottish team and especially Elaine Moffat, Midland Vets, who was selected to play. The sun shone on both days, although there was still a cold wind, which on the coast was freezing at some holes.

There was a great deal of laugher and friendship between the players, while still focussing on their team and individual matches. 

Following the matches of 4bbb on the Sunday and 8 individual games on the Monday, the Irish proved sound winners, 7.5 - 4.5.  The presentation of the trophy was made by Fiona de Vries, Scottish Captain, and a member of the Midland Vets.

NEW MERCHANDISE FOR 2023

Over the past 2 seasons the Committee has attempted to replenish its Midland Division stock of jumpers and gillets.  Unfortunately, however, we have been informed by various companies that our present colour is no longer available to purchase.

After considerable discussion and debating, the Committee have selected a new colour, Royal Blue, which we are told will always be in stock.  The Committee have purchased a variety of sizes, both in Jacket and Gillet and these items will be available at the Spring Meeting at Scotscraig, for members to try on and place an order.

The Midland polo shirt has not changed, and a new stock has also been purchased.
