Many weeks ago there was an ad on the Maybole
website asking for people to apply to go on a game show here
called Postcode Challenge. I emailed STV to apply to go on.
They got back to me that day and asked if I could get six
names together and go for an audition that week. The rest as
they say is history! There were no interviews for team
selection. These were the only "volunteers" I could come up
with. Aaron Lucas - I went to school with Aaron who was born
and bred in Maybole. He built a house and moved to Crosshill
a few years ago. Martin Hoggit - Went to school with Martin
as well who was from Minishant. He also saw the light and
moved to Crosshill a few years ago. Martin Dunlop - A Troon
boy who was fortunate enough to meet a Crosshill girl whom
he married and lives with in Crosshill. Myron King - Very
important member of the team - He owns the one and only Pub
in the village and benefited from the winnings more than
most! Roy Knight - First name on the team sheet. Mr
Consistency! Only other member of the team born and bred in
Crosshill.
In the photo we are being presented
with a cheque for 10,000 pounds from the host Carol Smillie.
I am the captain holding the cheque. My teammates were back
