Friday night saw the official end to the Cawder House season with a healthy turn out of members at Cawder Golf Club for the A.G.M. and prizegiving along with the usual chance for chat over a meal.
Firstly, credit should be given to the Committee and in particular Eleanor for organising and running the night so well.
The evening started with a search party for Margaret Macaulay who was struggling to find the venue
but many may have missed George Barron’s admission that he too had problems and in fact ended up at Bishopbriggs Golf Club demanding to know where his fellow club members were!
Once Margaret arrived to a cheer, we sat down to a meal with the usual Cawder House ribbing and banter.
At the end of the meal, Chairman Al called the company to order and started the formal proceedings of the actual A.G.M. My recollections of what was said are posted here.
It was then on to the matter of presenting prizes in line with the final standings of the competitions for the season. These were:

Presentations made, some trophies were topped up with a little ‘refreshment’ and passed round although some took the challenge of emptying them more seriously
whilst others went for the sly wee sip when they thought no-one was looking!
No trophies were hurt in the taking of these photos!
All trophy winners took great care in heading off home with their silverware and crystal glass momentos at the end of the evening although Douglas’s taxi driver thought the police escort to get the Main League Trophy back to his house was a bit much!
