Unsure of how ladies performed this week in external games, someone that knows can maybe post something.

Club doing well, keep it going!

Finally the World cup sweepstake sheets need to be handed behind bar by Wednesday 10th June at latest, you all must know someone that follows football ⚽

For anyone playing in RBA ties at Eaglesham tonight there will be no catering after the game, apologies for this but apparently per a vote it was decided nothing would be provided after the game, personally I think that's a shame but we will continue to provide catering for GBA and bowls Scotland games at club.

Busy week at club with internal ties and external ties this week.

All the best to everyone representing the club in all the ladies games (see attached) and gents out in RBA, GBA and Bowls Scotland games.
