Some members of the Tackety Bit Club went to
Crianlarich and climbed Cruach Ardrain. There was a good covering of
snow and a bit of ice but did not need the crampons. The sun came
out for brief spells giving good winter views, although there were
more dull times and a couple of blizzard showers. Other members went
to the Cairngorms where the weather was much better. It was quite
windy on the ridges ,but clear all day. The path into Coire an
Sneachda was half trailed which made it easier as the snow was quite
deep. The climbs were in good winter condition making it a great
day.
Shortly before Christmas the
Carrick Centre made an application to the national Lottery for
the community part of the project. After recent talks with Lottery
officials Bill Miller, chairman of the company set up to for the new
Centre, said, “At last there is positive news.” He continued, “We
have heard that our Lottery Application for the Carrick Centre has
finally reached a stage where they will sit down and discuss the
details with us. They like its objectives and the scope. If they
come up with what they indicate is possible, then we will have the
funding finally in place.
“We are also having great success
with South Ayrshire Council who are assisting in every way possible,
and we have the support of Adam Ingram MSP who is working on
obtaining funding from Edinburgh. “We have to thank the
community members of the Carrick Centre who are working hard on
obtaining the balance of the cash we need, especially for the youth
wing. We still have a lot of work to do but the past weeks have seen
encouraging progress.” Mr Miller added, “We can also report that to
date 20 applications to other funders have gone out under the
auspices of the Carrick Centre, with more to follow.
“The Carrick Centre sub-committees
have been active as follows:
“Elizabeth McCrindle reports that
the Local Fundraising Committee is organising a Coffee Morning and
stalls in Maybole Castle on Saturday 3rd May. Please come
along and support this.
“Other ideas in the pipeline are a
Saint Andrew’s Night, Fashion Show, Auction, and a Sponsored Silence
by King’s Club and others – parents will be glad to hear! The
Charity Shop has been booked for 14th November.
“The Website/Communication
Committee, now chaired by Allan Hutchison, is in the process of
amending the church website to reflect changes resulting from the
formation of the Carrick Centre, and a new Carrick Centre website
should be operational soon. The hoarding at the site has been
damaged and will be replaced by a new one designed by our
Architects. “Peter Lynn has assumed control of the Youth Committee,
and has communicated with many interested parties, seeking young
people to give advice or to join the committee.”
Carrick Amateur Football Club’s
Race Night
Maybole’s Carrick Amateur Football
Club held their annual Race Night recently at the local Carrick
Sports Club.
Chairing the evening was Dennis
McCaffery with race course steward Mr. Alex Meek providing the
punters with odds they wouldn’t get in any of the local bookmakers.
Ricky Stevenson told us, “The
event was a great success, and I’m sure those in attendance would
agree a most enjoyable evenings entertainment. This again would not
have been possible, if it wasn’t for the help and assistance from a
number of volunteers, who gave up their time to prepare sandwiches
and niceties for the buffet, helped with the betting and handed in
raffle prizes.
The Club would like to thank
Dennis and Alex for managing the event, Carrick Sports Club and Club
Steward Willie Parker and his staff. To Glen Cuthbert, who once
again prepared a very professional programme. To DJDK who helped
those punters rock the night away after the race card. To thank our
volunteers, Joan Cuthbert, Alexis Wilson, Lorna Lennox, Annette and
Stacey Bryden, Margaret Conkie, Marion McCulloch and Effie Logan.
Carrick Amateur’s committee would
also like to extend big thanks to John Cuthbert of ‘Cuthbert Ground
Works’ who sponsored the evening. All the businesses, which placed
adverts in the program, sponsored each individual race. To thank the
clubs management team, George Logan and George McCulloch. The
players and their partners, for supporting the event, and their
generous donations to the raffle draw. To wish them continued
success for the remainder of the season.”
