Forthcoming annual event at Nairn Dunbar.

Team spaces are now getting few for our special golf trip to the wonderful Nairn Dunbar.
The likelihood is we’ll be able to squeeze 21 teams on the day but I need you to action
before it’s too late. It would also be great to see a female team join us amongst the usual
suspects on the day.

Details & registration for the event are at the following link – Nairn Dunbar Charity Golf Day

Fingers crossed, I look forward to seeing you all on Thu 4 Sep at the superb Nairn Dunbar
GC, note to the wise, this year’s menu choice is outstanding as always, food heaven & golf –
you know what to do.

Heads Up: Prize Draw this year kindly donated by the Club Pro Alastair Neilson is a
putter known simply as the cheat, you know you need it!

All the very best & thanks for your
continued support to the charity – For Soldiers, For Life.

Yours aye,
John Gillie – Engagement Officer (Scotland)
