Even by his own standards Jock’s achievement this year in raising funds for the club have been exceptional, given the difficult current financial situation we are all experiencing. He has ensured that the cash flow of the club has been consistent and his achievements have put the club on a sound financial footing for the coming year.He continues to be innovative in the way in which he raises funds; members are not always supportive of his ideas, without his success we would have to increase member fees by a substantial amount.The coming year will present him with endless problems in these difficult times which everyone feels he will overcome, if anyone can he can, please support him.
