Jessica in the news again
15
year old Jessica Meek made the news again when she reached the quarter finals of
the Scottish Girls championship at Lanark Golf Club last week. Jessica, who
qualified 29th out of 32, beat No 3 seed Hannah McCook (Abernethy) 3 and 2 and
then went on to win 2 and 1 against Natasha Qayum (Ranfurly Castle) to reach the
quarters. Unfortunately, Jessica lost narrowly to Tain's Sammy Vass, who went on
to play in the final.

Vice Captain stands down from Committee
It is with regret we have
to announce that Neil Holland has decided to step down from the Committee. Neil
found that work commitments didn't afford him the time he felt was necessary to
carry out his duties effectively. In his 8 months on the Committee Neil has been
responsible for setting up a member's database and instigating our current e-mail
Club information system. His commitment and professionalism will be missed.
Dad and daughter success in Cant Cup
Father and daughter team Dave (£18)
Meek and Hannah recently competed in the Cant MacDonald Cup over Burnside Links.
The Cant cup handicap
competition was this year split into two handicap groupings 0 - 16 and 16.5
upwards. In the event, Dave and Hannah (pictured) won the higher handicap
competition, scoring an excellent gross 86, nett 67 which beat their nearest
rival by 2 shots earning the team a voucher for £90 which on the instructions of
Julie, wife and mum respectively, will go the junior partner of the family team!
Dave's regular playing partner and older daughter Jessica, meanwhile ditched her
dad in favour of 'Green Tractor Man' Nor Reid and they too did very well in the same
competition, finishing with a top ten placing on net 72. Well done to all
Station Masters members who took part in the competition.
Special Olympics fund raising success
The Station Hotel rocked last week to
the sounds of Aberdeen cover band 'No Hot Ashes' who played to a packed audience
of 
Station Masters
party-goers. The evening was a fund-raising effort for local lounge regular
Cameron Crawford who is heading off to Leicester next month to take part in this
year's 'Special Olympics'. Cameron is competing in the front crawl and back
stroke swimming events and is one of over 2000 competitors taking part in the
games. All competitors have to raise the money for their own expenses and with
corporate sponsorship taking a tumble in the current economic climate, the £400
raised by everyone in the Station will hopefully help Cameron on his way to
'going for gold'.
