It has happened before, it's been 2 years since the Howff had to de-camp to the Moreig, and whilst the did look after us, it just wusn'y hame.  Once again the Secretary, Treasurer and President had to Stuart at the Moreig to arrange for our October meetings and more importantly our Hallowe'en Supper.   The visit went well and the bookings are made, we've had to compromise on the meal slightly, and hopefully this time someone finds the Silver Sixpenny - last time we were at the Moreig we think that someone must have eaten it, but I suspect that the 1/2 bottle prize would be enjoyed by someone........    

Anyway the price has been agreed, the room booked and we're good to go.  It would be better if we could go to the Globe it has that special atmostphere, but the next section of the wall really need sorted the job is supposed to be finished in October but it can't be guaranteed that all the work will finish on time. so the Moreig it is.  

Unfortunately due to a prior commitment  I couldn’t get to the Globe Inn as early as I would have liked despite having had 60 years to arrange this, but I was glad to see that John Caskie, David Smith, David Baird, Kennie McKinnon and George Templeton were all still there and the party was in full swing when I arrived. A fantastic medley on the pipes and a song composed and played by Lee McQueen on the accordion were among the highlights of an excellent celebration and our best wishes go to Jane along with a wee bunch of flowers to add to the garden centre which was accumulating behind the bar.  I hope that Jane had a brilliant day to celebrate her 60^th birthday and hope that we can be associated with her in the Globe for many many years to come.
