2015
saw the third year for the Provincial Grand Lodge of Stirlingshire
Annual Golf Competition to be played at the home of Alloa Golf Club,
Schawpark Golf Course, Alloa on Sunday 10th May.
The weather was again not to kind to the
players, as it rained all morning, however it did brighten for the
last fews holes in the early afternoon.
The course, even with the rain that had
previously fallen, was in a good condition and the thanks of all go
to the green-keeping team and the members of Schawpark for their
efforts.
Another excellent meal was served up by the
staff in the clubhouse after the Golf and the thanks of all present
go to them.
After the meal was finished, the RWPGM, Bro
Andrew McKinnon addressed the Brethren and ladies present.
He thanked the golf committee for all
the work in making the day a success. He also thanked the staff at
Schawpark for the very
efficient manner in which they had supplied rolls, tea and coffee
first thing in the morning, and for the excellent buffet provided in
the afternoon.
The brethren who had attended and taken part
in the competition, and those who didn’t play golf, were thanked for
their attendance, and the monies raised in sponsorship and fees
paid. The total raised over the years is more than £52,000 for
various charities.
After the presentation of the various prizes
and awards, the convener, Bro Allan Leishman thanked Mrs McKinnon
for presenting the prizes, for which she received a lovely bouquet
of flowers.
The brethren were thanked once again for all
their efforts in raising sponsorship, and of course for having a
good golfing day.
The winners, as listed below,
were presented their awards by the RWPGM's wife Elizabeth.
