You enter this page at your own risk!! The committee members are called Directors as it makes them think they are important, so that they do all sorts of unpaid work for the club. Their main job is to act as a target for complaints and grumbles - or so it seems at times!!
Office Bearers (until February 2010)
President V-President Junior VP & Match Secretary and Secretary Treasurer & Bar Convenor Social Convenor & Master of Work
The President- Walter Irvine
Walter
announced as he was installed that this was the biggest honour since he was made
a 'sixer' at the Cubs. This experience might be quite useful as he deals with
the members. What a year- Barack Obama and Walter are presidents together!
Vice President- Tom Welsh
Tom
is a former Club Champion who claims his general cheeriness is unrelated to his
vodka consumption.
Junior Vice President - Vacant
Match Secretary -David Macdonald
As the Match Secretary
he will use a complicated formula
to select
teams, based on past performance, present form, future prospects and
whether they happen to be around when he is picking the team. Regarded as very
fair by those selected and biased by those he leaves out. Such is life!
Honorary Secretary- Bill Gilfillan
An obvious choice for secretary, as he is good at joined up writing.
This picture shows the type of welcome you can get at the club, if you buy him a drink.
Honorary Treasurer- Alistair Gunn
As
a former physics teacher, he is quite happy if his calculations work out to plus
or
minus 10%. Caused some concern when he disappeared on holiday to Australia
just after taking up office. Like most treasurers he has deep pockets and short
arms, although he was seen buying a drink for the auditors just before his second
trip to Australia. He has even shaved his beard off to show he has nothing to
hide....hmm.
Bar Convenor - Ian Bowie
As
Ian has just retired, we are delighted that he has decided to fill his waking
hours with the bar convenor post. He is shown here encouraging sales of
Scotland's 'other' national drink, probably in case his wife browses the site.
Social Convenor - Ray Taylor
Although a relatively new member of the club, Ray has shown himself willing to take on tasks. We are sure that his experience in the 'drinks trade' will be put to good use. And his wife is a dab hand at selling raffle tickets...
Master of Works - Harry Jolly
Harry lives up to his name, but
...as he tries to keep everyone happy about the
condition of the clubhouse...will it last??
Green Convenor - Dan Stevens
Works with the Groundsman Tom Scott to maintain the green in a good
condition. This is in his own interest as his house overlooks the green!
Always blamed for any bowls which go off course, but he gets his own back by
wearing shorts in hot weather.
and last but not least the following motley crew are the new Directors for 2009-- isn't the club in fine hands?
Colin
Beattie and David Brown.
Colin promises to attend meetings if they don't clash with "Corrie"
Bob
Ewing, Bill Milroy, Eddie Humpries, Greig Harrison and Fred Hamilton were new
additions this year.
