Thursday brought us back to Aberdeen and a visit to the Balgownie Club in their delightful meeting place in the Mains of Scotstown Inn at Bridge of Don. I spent a very interesting evening with President Ron and his members hearing about their plans for the current year. Especially impressive are their recruiting plans, with mail shots for an Information evening which cover thousands. I will be very interested to hear how this goes and wish them every success. The fact that at least 20% of their members will bring prospective members to a Club meeting also augurs well for a very succesful recruiting drive. Most Clubs are looking for 2-3 new members. Balgownie are targeting at least five. The Club is also well to the fore in looking at cooperative activities with other Clubs, as evidenced by their joint involvement with Ellon RC in helping to organise The Sandwalk, a test even for those in prime physical condition. Keen supporters of the Wishaw Games and other events in their local community, the Club is also a staunch supporter of the various 'Box' schemes.
