In 1944, I [Andrew McCorquodale] was appointed Burgh Surveyor of Maybole. Shortly after I started, a number of town councillors and local people were examining various projects to be ready for Maybole Servicemen returning from the Second World War. A public meeting was arranged, and the popular outcome was that a football field and a football team was the final decision. ... a committee was nominated, of which I was a member, and it was decided that an area of ground between the local tannery, (now demolished), and the then Italian POW Camp would be suitable. I agreed to design and supervise the work to be carried out by a great group of enthusiastic volunteers. the rest of the story

At last week’s annual general meeting of Maybole’s OAP Association office bearers elected were: Pearl Barton, chair; Gillian Durrant, secretary; and Derek Walker, treasurer. The committee as last year was re-elected. Local police officers presented a cheque for £300 to the committee who would like to thank PC John Hammill, Sgt William Gilmour and Inspector Stuart Gaudin for this. more

Over 50 people from the church communities in Maybole came together to share a harvest supper recently. People went along to with their dishes and shared them with the company. The occasion, organised by Maybole Council of Churches, was enjoyed by all. One person said: "We should do this more often, whether it's harvest or not."

Maybole Bowling Club’s annual dance and presentation of prizes was held last Friday night and Hugh Paterson, president, welcomed everyone and thanked them for their hard work throughout the season. Prizewinners were:

Oh what a night! Maybole Town Hall was packed for a night of good old rock and roll last Saturday. Local rockabilly band The Peas kicked off with Buddy Holly’s “Rave On” and the party was on. Davie Anderson, Michael Andrew, Gavin Loch and Jimmy Murdoch played a great set of old favourites for an hour and had the crowd going with hits like “Pink Cadillac” and “Rock around with Ollie Vee” among many others. more

She dances for Dawn and Shari Turnbull of Ayr and would like to thank them for all their help. She would also like to thank Gail and Sheila, owners of Gossip Designs in South Wales for their sponsorship in both Solo and Slow events. When she is older Shannan wants to be a gym teacher as well as a dance teacher with her big sister Kayleigh who is a Scottish freestyle champion at intermediate level.

Cairn Primary's P7 pupils had the chance to learn snowboarding skills at Newmilns dry ski-slope during the October school holidays. The trip to Newmilns was organised by Graham McCullough, the Carrick Cluster Outdoor Sports Co-ordinator. After instruction on how to use the equipment properly, the Cairn pupils had the chance to hit the slope and practice how to balance and control their descent.  All of the kids had a wicked time and enjoyed trying this sport for the first time - and not a broken bone between them!

At last week’s annual general meeting of Maybole’s OAP Association office bearers elected were: Pearl Barton, chair; Gillian Durrant, secretary; and Derek Walker, treasurer. The committee as last year was re-elected. Local police officers presented a cheque for £300 to the committee who would like to thank PC John Hammill, Sgt William Gilmour and Inspector Stuart Gaudin for this. The money will go towards costs for the outing to the pantomime in December. They would also like to thank everyone who has donated money and goods to them over the past year. There was a special presentation to Minnie Gallacher who has been a great worker for the committee and the OIR committee for many years but has had to cut back recently due to ill health. The committee wanted Minnie to know how much they appreciate the work she has done and that they all miss her.
