<strong>CHOIR</strong> <strong>GAMES</strong> NIGHT – Lesmahagow Male Voice Choir held another exciting and<br />
challenging evening on Saturday at Bertrams with all competitions keenly fought<br />

members!. Winners and runners-up were: Pool – Del Farquharson and Eric<br />
Watson/Jamie Brown and Scott Miller; Bowls - Jack Aitken and Kevin Cairns/Davy<br />
Watson and Matt Sneddon [J]; Darts – Jamie Brown and Scott Miller/Davy<br />
Watson and Matt Sneddon [J]; Dominoes – Jim Hope and Archie Lang/Del<br />
Farquharson and Eric Watson. At the risk of being accused of ‘naming and<br />
shaming’ other teams included: Alan Cowan/Stuart Elliott; Davy Affleck/Gordon<br />
Brown; Matt Sneddon [S]/Iain Affleck; Val Orr/Scott Affleck. Once again grateful<br />
thanks to Davy Affleck and Jim Hope for organisation and the Black Bull ‘lassies’<br />
for superb service.

<strong>GAMES</strong> NIGHT – It was the usual keenly contested Lesmahagow Male Voice Choir<br />
Games Night on Saturday at Bertrams as twenty-six stalwarts fought it out on<br />
four fields – pool, darts, quoits and dominoes, with no quarter being asked or<br />
given. In the Dominoes final ‘Wily Wally’ Weir and David Neill overcame maturity<br />
and youth in the shape of Matt Sneddon and Stuart Elliot, while at Quoits the<br />
bass section’s ‘gruesome twosome’ Jamie Brown and Jim Fordyce smoothly<br />
moved past Iain Affleck (junior) and John Weir. At darts another maturity and<br />
youth combination, Alec Turner and Kenneth Baxter, just managed to pip Eric<br />
Watson and Derek Blackwood; but Eric and Derek, with some crafty play beat off<br />
Davy Dunn and Kevin ‘hop-a-long’ Cairns at Pool. This year the ‘twats’ title, out<br />
of everything first, went to Jim Hope and Davy Affleck. Stern words of warning<br />
were issued to the guest participants, particularly those who lifted prizes – future<br />
participation in social events would be dependent on joining the Choir! Once<br />
again grateful thanks to Davy Affleck for organisation and the Black Bull ‘lassies’<br />
for superb service.

Gazette entry<br />
<strong>CHOIR</strong> <strong>GAMES</strong> NIGHT – On Saturday the Choir held its annual Games Night at<br />
Bertrams with over thirty members and friends attending. The competition was<br />
intense with plentiful, occasionally raucous, advice being given to all competitors.<br />
In Darts Jim ‘180’ McSkimming, with assistance from Davy Neill, swept all before<br />
him, including the beaten finalists Arthur Weir and Eric Watson. In the Dominoes<br />
final, Robert Bryson and ‘mine host’ Stan Cuthbert were too wily for Davy Affleck<br />
and Archie Martin. The Pool final turned out to be a competitive Watson family<br />
match with Davy losing out to son Eric, who was assisted by Arthur Weir; Davy’s<br />
partner was Stuart Elliott. The gamesmanship in this final had to be seen to be<br />
believed, when even delays in chalking cues came into play. Seasoned<br />
campaigner Archie Lang, along with Paul Kennedy, proved too strong in the<br />
Quoits final for new member Jim Loch and Stuart Brownlie. All in all another<br />
excellent evening, although towards the end a plaintive voice was heard to<br />
remark “I’ve been coming here for the last ten years and haven’t won anything”;<br />
never mind Fraser – keep trying! Once again thanks to social organiser Davy<br />
Affleck and his team and to the Black Bull for facilities and food, for which praise<br />
was loudly proclaimed by all participants, particularly Kenneth – at regular<br />
intervals!

<strong>CHOIR</strong> <strong>GAMES</strong> NIGHT – December 2004<br />
Lesmahagow Male Voice Choir members and friends held their annual Games<br />
Night at Bertrams on December 27. As always, it was an extremely enjoyable<br />
evening, with all competitions keenly contested. In Darts the ‘James’, Hope and<br />
Macintyre, playing together for the second year running, came from behind to<br />
snatch the title from Archie Lang and MOC, Master of Ceremonies, Davie Affleck.<br />
The MOC’s team was again beaten in the Dominoes final by a combination of<br />
youth and middle age – Richard Cairns and Stan Baxter. At Table Quoits another<br />
youth/middle age team, Kenneth Baxter and Kevin Cairns lost out to the young<br />
and daring partnership of Alan Cowan and Matt Sneddon Junior. The Pool title<br />
was won by Jim Fordyce and Davie Watson, with the highlight of the evening a<br />
four ball clearance by Davie to win the match; the losing finalists were Scott<br />
Affleck and Matt Sneddon Senior. Thanks are again due to Laura and her staff for<br />
the facilities and food, and to Davie Affleck for smooth organisation.
