| Peter joined
Cambuslang BC in 1998 and soon thereafter became a Director and has been an ever present stalwart of the
club.
He had spells as treasurer, greenkeeper, house convenor and has performed many technical and manual tasks
within the club and is always willing to take the
initiative and get the job done.
He was delighted in 2004 to be given the honour of being Club President and fullfilled his duties along with his wife Ann in an exemplary manner.
In 2004 he helped re-establish the Club's Burns Supper which had
disappeared from our calendar and it is now a firm favourite and sold out
every year..
A wee local snippet in April 2004 at his Opening Day was the 'christening' of our now famous 'Daldowie Lounge'
The Club travelled to Dublin in May 2004 during Peter's Presidency and PiggeryBrae were invited. A very successful bowling tour organised by our Secretary David Barnett.
In May 2004 at our annual Charity event a record amout of £2,890 was raised for CHAS, the children's hospice.

In 2010 Peter became Club President for a second time.
It was a double celebration this year as Peter's wife Ann was also Lady President in 2010.
Peter has over the years provided the club with generous
sponsorship and has covered numerous jobs on the committee.
In 2015 he took on the onerous task of looking after the bar and
setting up a volunteer bar rota. He can be seen most Monday evenings
working the bar. |
