Director
Sam McDougall 1930 - 2001
Another
true and loyal member lost to
the grand bowling club above.
Sam passed away in December
after a long and brave fight
with cancer. Sam was an active
member and Director of the club
and was looking forward to being
president one day.
There was a wonderful turnout at
Sam's funeral and fittingly the
family decided to have the
farewell meal and drink at the
bowling club.
Our sincere condolences go to
his wife Madge, children Scott,
Mandy and all the family.
We will all miss Sam at
Cambuslang Bowling Club......... |

Saturday 16th
February 2002 Sam's
wife Madge requested
that Sam's ashes be scattered
at the bowling club and a
commemorative plaque be placed
in the club grounds. The
board of Directors agreed to
this and the club opened at
12.30 that day with the
ceremony at 1.30pm. Tributes
were delivered from our
Secretary David Barnett, Past
President Bob Clark and Sam's
daughter Mandy. |
Our
thoughts go to Joe's wife
Isobel, son Kenny, daughter
Lynn and his grandchildren.

Member Joe Goodlet 1929 -
2001
It is with
great sadness I write of the
untimely death of one of our
members Joe Goodlet. Joe, 72,
suffered a massive heart
attack outside his home whilst
chasing young yobs who had
been tormenting Joe and his
wife, Isobel by banging on
their door and windows for
weeks on end. Army veteran and
former boxer Joe had undergone
heart operations and had a
pacemaker fitted. . He was a
stalwart member of our bowling
club, ever present and very
active in bowling circles,
which was borne out at his
funeral on Tues 16th October
by the many many bowlers in
attendance. We will all
miss Joe at Cambuslang Bowling
Club.......

Sunday

memorial. Joe's family and a
large turnout of members and
friends witnessed the
ceremony. A tribute to Joe's
memory was delivered by our
Secretary David Barnett.

lying the shot and the last

gave him 3 shots and the
championship...but the jack was sliced
and stopped at Gordon's bowl giving him
the championship...congratulations
Gordon.

May 27th Charity
Day.....( Alex MacFarlane memorial )
10th Anniversary
Unbelievable
day. A cheque for a whopping £2,005 presented to a
Nursing Sister from the Rodger Park
Nursing Home.
Twenty-four rinks plus friends ensured
the club was very busy with our three
bar staff barely able to cope at
times.
Jim Montgomery Jnr, wife Glenda and
Harry Faulds worked tirelessly the whole
day and it really was a superb effort by
everyone.On the 10th anniversary of this
tournament it was nice that a Cambuslang
team won, skipped by our Match
Secrertary Scott Crichton, who was
absolutely delighted to have won.
Kirkhill bowling club were very worthy
runners-up...................See Charity

Eleven tourers
set off to Dublin ( Sam McDougall
withdrew through ill health ) and were
met at the hotel by our hosts. A few
drinks followed then onto the bowling

A
harmony evening followed and Clontarf
