There was no respite for the bar staff at the weekend. After the full-house at the Friday Poker night they were faced with the 24 participants in the Squash Chairman’s Birthday Bash handicap event on Saturday night. This time it was Soup and Salad rather than Bottles of Beer but resulted in another busy night. Rumours that the Chairman is to institute an official birthday in order to arrange another event have been denied by her spokesperson.
Dumfries climb the league ladder
Giffnock III’s 0 – 2 Dumfries Men HC (Iain Callander, Ben Chambers)
After a good result last weekend Dumfries were determined to carry their form into Saturday’s game against Giffnock in Glasgow.
As many will have seen there has been a lot of maintenance work taking place at the Clubhouse this week.
The bumps and thumps in the ceiling have been the result of more insulation being installed. Work is also being undertaken to fit new radiators and a new boiler has been installed. This has meant some short-term disruption to the heating but is aimed at cutting back on the high, and still increasing, energy costs which have had to be reflected in increased subscription costs.
Hopefully members will have one eye on their subs and help to minimise energy wastage by ensuring doors and windows are closed where appropriate and by turning off equipment and lights when not required.
