Annual Supper & Presentation of Prizes

Leave a Comment Written by Admin 2

The Annual Supper and Presentation of Prizes took place in the function hall on Friday 6th November 2015.

President Drew Atkinson welcomed guests, kindred clubs and members to the Supper and presented his top table comprising: Frank McCarry (Honorary President), John Gillies (Seniors), John Murphy (Past President), Ronnie Jardine (Vice-President) and his guest speaker, Archie Thomson MBE. Grace was said by John Gillies and the meal was then served by Hamish Whyte and his team.

After the meal, the President gave a short summary of the 2015 season, emphasising the significant changes which had taken place over the past few years and his own focus this year in trying to rejuvinate the Junior section through reaching out to the local schools. He noted the Awards for All grant of £7,500 which we had obtained as part of this initiative. Archie Thomson MBE then gave an excellent and heartfelt toast to Renton Bowling Club, highlighting the role our club had played as a social enterprise at the centre of the Renton community for 150 years. He had some good natured verbal sparing with the usual suspects (Pellie & Brad!) and congratulated the living legend, Micky Haggerty, for winning a trophy this season.

Honorary President Frank McCarry then presented the prizes to the various winners and runners-up, assisted by John Murphy.

John Murphy, Drew Atkinson, Frank Gale, Ian McCallum, Graham Connell, Michael Cavan, Tam Fraser, Tommy Pender, Micky Haggerty, Billy Murray Snr, Arthur O'Hare, George McCallion, Michael Keenan, Frank McCarry, Ronnie Jardine, Andy Kane & George Lunan

Graham Connell replied on behalf of the Prize Winners, standing in for Club Champion David McCarry who unfortunately couldn’t make the evening. Graham commended the quality of David as champion, noting that he had now won all 4 championship finals in which he had competed, and said that the most surprising thing was the 9 year gap since his last victory. Graham said that he wouldn’t be surprised to see David’s name on the Championship board again soon. He finished by thanking everyone for competing throughout the season, the convenors for running the tournaments and wished the assembled members and guests the best of luck for next year.

John Murphy (Past President) made a toast to the DAC, DBA and Bowls Scotland thanking the kindred clubs for giving us the opportunity to play competitively as a Club each cup Saturday and League night. He noted that John Gillies was stepping down after serving as a DBA director for 10 years but we were fortunate that another member, Jack O’Malley, was prepared to take on the role on our behalf. Finally, he noted the further U25 cap won by Richard O’Malley in 2015 and hoped that representatives from Renton BC would progress at Northfield in our 150th year.

Ronnie Jardine (Vice-President) concluded the evening by giving a vote of thanks to complete the formalities, thanking the speakers, caterers and bar staff.
