Congratulations to Renfrewshire on winning the Inter-County Match week at Cardross. My thanks to all the Ayrshire team members who tried so hard to keep hold of the salver we won last year, but it was not to be - there will always be next year!! My thanks also to Vice-Captain Sheila and President Eila for their on-going support and encouragement, to all those who gallantly pulled trolleys, some twice in one day! and for the cards and good wishes sent by members. Next year's meeting will be held at Bothwell Castle, Lanarkshire, where I hope to see lots more trolley-pullers and supporters.

SOME MORE JAMBOREE PICS
For some video of the jamboree go to URTV Ayrshire. There is an interview with our Captain Sandie and Connie Jaffrey.
June Kerr reports from Jamboree:
Pity the team didn't get a win out of either of the first two days but they were agonisingly close with all those last hole results. I pulled for Connie this afternoon which was great - she tweaked a few tee shots and fairway woods right over the first few holes but she sorted it out and came good. They halved the first 3 in par, then Connie bogied 4th to lose it, opponent birdied the par 3 so 2 down but all square by the 9th and kept that winning streak going to win by 3/2. It was lovely to watch the ball striking and a gorgeous afternoon.
