Many thanks to the golfers and all the church members who attended the annual Alistair McBean Memorial golf outing and evening meal. The weather was kind to the fourteen gentlemen and two lady golfers who battled for the honour of winning The Quaich, it was good to see the ladies back in the competition. Unfortunately Christine was not able to attend the dinner but the McBean clan was well represented by Graeme and Gordon. It was fitting that Gordon, who came all the way from Australia, was the winner having travelled so far. The meal returned to Baberton Golf Club this year, thanks to Andrew Grieve, the Club Steward, who provided an excellent meal which everyone enjoyed. As already mentioned the winner of The Quaich was Gordon McBean with 38 points with Andy Inglis, hot on his heels, in second place with 37 points with Calum Sharp, the youngest golfer, taking third place with 36 points. A close run contest, with several other golfers being just a couple of points behind.
