So far only David Smith and John Clark have confirmed definite interest- I would be pleased to hear from any other interested parties.

The final adjustments to the draft constitution agreed at last night's meeting have now been applied and passed to the Ayatollah - sorry Hon Sec - the old constitution ran to some 910 words and our new one around 1545 words!! Thanks to all the members who contributed and in particular to the subcommittee of John Lauder,John Caskie,Godfrey Bedford,Robert Wilson and David Smith and their great patience. Hopefully it will be approved at the EGM .

I'm now looking forward to the conference- the hotel are happily accomodating our two dogs and they will contribute to any singsongs!!

 

Our Honorary Secretary has already given us a full account of the trip but to put the record straight on the day he claimed he was been very abstemious and setting an example to club members and guests. However the circuitous route described as his recollection of the route taken by the Waverley tells a different story - Greenock, Rothesay, Helensburgh , Dumbarton Rock and then on to Tighnabruaich says it all!! A really enjoyable day out with excellent weather.I think we all stood out in Dumfries for a few days with the sun burnt faces.

Lots of comments coming forward on the revised draft of our Constitution - keep them coming - all comments welcome.

I would still like to try and organise a trip to Palmerston to support the Queens - if this appeals to any of you please get back to me.

I look forward to seeing you all at our next Ex Comm meeting on 29 August.
