Carol Fell

Congratulations to Carol Fell, who took all our Centenary Dinner photographs and has been made an Honorary Member of Renfrewshire for her work as their webmistress and for putting together the Renfrewshire Centenary book.  Very well done, Carol from all at D.& A.!! 

Megan Briggs was also made an Honorary Member on the same night. She is their current Champion and won the Scottish this year – Many congratulations Megan, we will be following your golfing career with interest.

100 Years of D.&A.

Have you got your copy yet?  The book was launched at the Annual General Meeting and very well received.  If you missed getting yours it can be ordered from Kay McColl or any Committee member – £10.

The following are reviews from people who did get a copy and read it straight away!

“the book is an amazing and enjoyable cocktail of fact, history and anecdote, and extremely well laid out”

“I went home from the A.G.M., made tea and toast and started reading your interesting and informative book.  One and a half hours later I went to bed!   Easy to follow, well written and beautifully illustrated, I will be recommending it as a “must have” to anyone with connections to D.&A.”

“I found it fascinating and, although not an expert myself, it is so beautifully laid out and what a lot of good photographs”

Thank you all for these wonderful endorsements.

Thank you from Margaret Johnston

I was delighted and very touched to be presented with an Honorary Membership on Wednesday evening at the Annual General Meeting and I would like to thank everyone for giving their approval in the way they did.

 Working on the research for the book was really so interesting and trying to trace individuals quite challenging in some cases and proved impossible in others. There are bound to be some items missed out and mistakes made, but I hope not too many. In some ways a relief that it is now in print………….but what am I going to do with my time now?  Someone suggested I write another book entitled “How I wrote the Book”!!

 I count myself very fortunate to have been a D.& A. County member for such a long time and privileged  to have made so many good friends over the years, whom I otherwise would never have had the opportunity to meet.  Jean Campbell is one of these and we have had many a laugh over the past months while we collaborated on the book, as those of you who know Jean – are there any who don’t? – will appreciate.

 Thank you all again for the honour bestowed upon me, I do indeed appreciate it.
