Squash: Iain ready to move up
6 12 2008Teenager Iain Anderson – a member of Nunholm Squash Club – recently took part in a Junior Squash Graded tournament at Edinburgh Sports Club.
The 16-year-old, who won his divisional group in his previous tournament at Bridge of Allan, continued to show good form and again won his division quite comfortably.
This should now see Iain move up the rankings and to a higher divisional grouping where he faces much tougher matches.

It take place on Monday, December 8 at 6.15pm for a 6.30pm start.

New seating arrangements
27 11 2008There is a new look in the Sports Club’s suite with the addition of a set of chairs which have been generously donated to the club by Dumfries and Galloway College.
Following their move to the Crichton, the college left much of its equipment which it considered as surplus to requirements. And rather than throwing the equipment away, the college decided to donate it locally.
So thanks to the committee the Sports Club has benefitted as well as a number of other community groups, schools and clubs.
