Margaret Caldwell retiring as Scottish Alliance secretary

NEXT YEAR'S CHAMPIONSHIP AT MONIFIETH
AND ARBROATH FROM OCTOBER 9 to 11

A meeting of all five regional alliances in Scotland has been arranged for next March following the impending retirement by Margaret Caldwell as secretary of the Scottish Golfers Alliance championship after 24 years.
Margaret will remain in office until a successor has been appointed.
“It was nice that my predecessor in the post, Ron Brownlee, came through to see me at my last championship (at Buchanan Castle, earlier this month). He’s well into his 90s but going well,” said Margaret who is pictured above right with the leading prizewinners at the 2003 Scottish Alliance championship at Boat of Garten.
“Tom Galloway, another hale-and-hearty man in his 90s, also came through to say ‘goodbye.’ That was nice too. They both looked very fit and good for a few more years yet.”
Next year’s Scottish Alliance championship will be held at Monifieth and Arbroath from October 9 to 11 (Tuesday to Thursday).
Margaret Caldwell is posting the complete results from this year’s championship to Colin Farquharson and they will be displayed on this website as soon as they arrive.
Paul McKechnie was the winner of an event reduced to 36 holes because of bad weather but, apart from that, news of the championship has been hard to find in the newspapers.
