Members and guests enjoy day out at the legendary Dens Park

Taking a well-deserved break from golf recently, several Station Masters members along with their guests, enjoyed an action-packed day out at Dens Park for the match, against arch-rivals Raith Rovers. As we all know, the Glorious Dundee struck in the dying minutes of the match through the ever-youthful Neil McCann, providing a fairytale finish to a pulsating game, running out magnificent victors 2 - 1. The match was sponsored by former Vice Captain, Captain Holland's company, Marex Marine and Safety Services, a globally renowned outfit (something to do with boats we think) operating from Aberdeen to as far afield as Scrabster. Neil and his chums enjoyed excellent boardroom hospitality, with a menu consisting of delicious beef olives washed down with copious quantities of Champagne and other fine wines - all at a ridiculously low cost. The group actually had the honour of selecting the man-of-the-match which in this instance went to Dundee defender Craig McKeown. The day was rounded off for one lucky chum (who shall remain nameless) when he won a framed photo of a Dundee shirted George Best valued at £130 in the match raffle. Rumours presently circulating the Club suggest that Elliot, thinking that more Champagne was on the go, in fact stuck his hand up during an auction which was taking place for the photo and ended up making the highest bid! These rumours however are believed to be the work of disaffected 'arab' troublemakers and should be treated with the contempt they deserve. All-in-all a great day out for the chums and a triumph for all supporters of silky soccer.

Links landmarks take shape

Two new landmarks are gradually taking shape over Carnoustie Golf links. The futuristic-designed Pro-centre is well on the way to completion in time for the Ricoh Women's British Open 2011 (to give it its correct title) in July. Further out on the course, the new 'tea-hut' is also well under construction at the 10th hole - its about time the caddies were provided with up-dated facilities!
