Committee Christmas Catch Up<br />

The Cairngorm Hotel, Aviemore saw<br />

the annual Christmas catch up take<br />

place with club committee members<br />

attending for a most sociable and<br />

refreshment filled evening. This year<br />

saw all our members manage to<br />

make it to the correct establishment<br />

in plenty time!! All 22 of us managed<br />

to take over the hotel main foyer<br />

for pre-dinner drinks, followed by a<br />

most enjoyable Christmas meal in the<br />

conservatory and our after-dinner<br />

entertainment was supplied by many in<br />

the company but most memorable was<br />

Jimmy Wilson for providing us all with<br />

some first-class entertainment. The<br />

next day was a long one for many I am<br />

sure but well worth it. I look forward to<br />

seeing you all again in December <strong>2023</strong>,<br />

same time, and same place.<br />

Congratulations<br />

Many congratulations from us all<br />

here at Scottish & Northern to Robbie<br />

McNeil & Rachel Ralston on the arrival<br />

of Mia Penny McNeil who was born on<br />

23 November 2022. A little sister for a<br />

proud big brother Archie.<br />

Ruby Wedding Celebrations<br />

In August last year Iain & Rhona<br />

celebrated their Ruby Wedding<br />

Anniversary with an afternoon<br />

celebration at Fintry Rugby Club for<br />

family & close friends. A fantastic<br />

afternoon was had by all, with lots<br />

of memories talked about and many<br />

memories to take away. Then onto<br />

October which saw the dispersal of<br />

their Lochend Herd - a herd to be<br />

very proud of and one which they had<br />

established nearly 30 years ago. The<br />

sale was a tremendous success for<br />

them with a top price of 21,000gns<br />

for the duo of Lochend Lightning and<br />

her calf Lochend Thunder. On behalf<br />

of us all here at Scottish & Northern<br />

we would like to wish Iain & Rhona all<br />

the very best for the next chapter and<br />

we have no doubt there will be lots of<br />

fun to be had with their grandchildren<br />

Alba, Jess & Andrew.<br />
