Annual Prize Giving

A good night was had by all at the annual prize giving held this year at Somerset Park. Over 50 people attended in what turned out to be an ideal venue. After the formalities were dealt with  there was the usual launch of change at the whisky bottle, some dancing and a few classic karaoke moments. It also seems that some people have a bad raffle habit which is great for club funds...

 As you can see the Kilmarnock contingent were happy to have been caught on camera with a signed Ayr Utd top in the vicinity. There was some chat about a telephone bid from the Rugby Park, a taxi and some firelighters.

Quiz Night

The club had a quiz night last Wednesday in the Carlton.  After a late start 16 members attended and tested their knowledge on all things fishy and some not so fishy over 25 questions with quiz master on the night being Martin.

1. Gordon 16 points
2. John Wilson, Stewart and Jamie 15 points
3.Malky 14 points

Willie was disqualified for getting 28 out of 25

Remember  the club annual prize giving is this Saturday the 3rd  March 7pm start, contact John or Martin
