Club News

In Memoriam: Our historic Club is saddened to report the recent passing - after a short illness bravely borne - of former President Douglas Samways, who led the SFBC for three years interrupted by the two-year Covid epidemic. A retired senior educationalist, Douglas had a deep enthusiasm for his hometown of Stonehaven and for his native country including an interest in its Independence, and of course an abiding passion for the Scots and Doric tongue including the works of our National Bard. His role in leading the Club’s Robert Burns input at primary schools throughout the Mearns area for over a decade, will form part of his lasting legacy within our community. Our condolences go to his wife Elaine and family.
