31st May 2010 Update

To date we have 34 tourists consisting of 21 men bowlers, 9 lady bowlers & 5 non bowlers. We will be joined in Scotland by David & Diana McNeice both are bowlers, this will bring our tally of bowlers up to 22 men & 10 ladies. Both David & Diane are assisting me with hotel & coach bookings and if needed are willing to help finding clubs to accommodate us. Clubs booked so far are Lugar, Ayr Forehill & Ayr Seafield. Ayr Forehill will hold a lady’s game in the morning and a men’s game in the afternoon. I am still waiting for replies from Dundonald, Ayr & Ayr Hawkhill. I have others to write too if they are unable to accommodate us. I have written to 6 other clubs and have not been able to secure a venue; they are Annbank, Auchinleck, Cumnock, Dalrymple, Girvan, Kilmaurs & Cragie. I have contact details of the Auld Kirk for our church service on the Sunday morning and will book nearer the date. If any money is available for a coach tour out I will book one. Single rooms are charged at a premium rate of £15:00 per night. The appropriate number of double and twin rooms have been booked for our party. There are car parking facilities available. Matches will be arranged at six clubs. It is hoped to include three ladies rinks if there are sufficient men for 6 rinks.

I would like to have 4 to 6 more men bowlers on the tour to allow for people wanting a day off.


1st May 2010

The arrangements have been finalised for the Association's tour to Ayr from 25th June 2011 to 2nd July 2011. Accomodation has been provisionally reserved at the Ramada Jarvis Hotel. The hotel is located in Ayr town centre and has 20 double, 40 single and 40 twin en suite bedrooms. Single rooms are charged at a premium rate. The appropriate number of double and twin rooms have been booked for our party. There are car parking facilities available.
Matches will be arranged at six clubs. It is hoped to include two ladies rinks if there are sufficient men for 6 rinks.
The estimated cost is £390 per person. This includes seven nights bed & breakfast, dinner on arrival, end of tour dinner dance, the cost of travelling to matches, green fees and catering but does not include the cost of travelling from home to Ayr and back. The Council regrets the increasing cost of the tour but this is due to the inevitable result of inflation, rising costs and hotel charges.

If you would like more information about the tour please email London Scots or telephone on 07850 526854.

It is hoped that the Association will support the President elect and make this another successful tour to Scotland.
