Chief guest Alan Tait -Fellow of the PGA, BBC Radio Scotland
presenter and current golf Pro’ at the Dalmahoy Hotel & Country
Club, Edinburgh, then regaled us with tales of his climb from the
amateur ranks to pro-golfing exploits, but leaving us uncertain as to
whether it had really been a success or not. He then raised the
toast to the Club.

Samuel Pickwick responded for the Club, thanking Alan for his
‘few kind words’ and then reminding all Club members present
that his game plan during his year as President, was to get more
new faces at Club activities other than just one dinner a year,
instead of the events always being supported by the usual
regulars (He has done his part -Ed). With a full diary of events
still to come there were plenty of opportunities for everyone to
get more involved in Club activities.

eager guests how to mount a Penny Farthing.
