75th Anniversary Bonspiel and Dinner




6 rinks of Gangrels took on Invited Rinks from Ayr & Alloway, Ayr Curling Club, Beresford Ladies, The Disney Club, Tarbolton and DAFS in a friendly bonspiel yesterday afternoon.

The Gangrels took their motto of "The game first, the result second" to heart and made sure that none of the visitors had to depart on the losing side.

The best Gangrels Rink was Ronnie Wilson's, who managed a draw against Ayr Curling Club.  The best result for the visitors was a win for the Disney Club.

Afterwards, we repaired for an excellent meal, courtesy of Passion Caterers,  and an evening of fellowship with good speeches under the chairmanship of President Ronnie Peat.

The Toast to Gangrels CC was by Billy Howat, Vice President of the RCCC.  Ronnie replied and toasted our guests.  Alistair Henry then followed with a response and the final speaker was Honorary President Jim Henry, who gave his recollections of his many years in the club.
