Gus Neilson:.Alan McCredie - Rugby Memories
Thu, Feb 23rd 2017 at 7:00 pm - 9:00 pm
Weekly meeting with guest speaker
The Rotary Club held a pleasant evening
last week at Mansfield House Hotel when the evening's speaker Alan McCredie was
introduced and gave an excellent illustrated talk on the Rugby Memories Club
held at Mansfield Park Rugby Clubrooms for people who suffer from memory
problems and is supported by Alzheimer Scotland. The club has been running
for 4 years and meets monthly when old newsreels and photos are shown which
recalls old memories. A guest speaker is also involved as well as a quiz
to invigorate the brain cells. He showed a video of Langholm Sports in 1982
which Hawick won defeating Melrose 24-10 in the final, and a further tape of Hawick beating Orrell in the final at Selkirk.. Gus Neilson gave
the vote of thanks.
Last week's quiz was a success and raised
£402.14 which will finance a place on the RYLA adventure camp this summer. The winning team was entered by Gus Neilson and was very much a family affair!
