Marchetti Shield Presented

At the beginning of the recent club meeting chairman Iain Ward announced that the Marchetti Shield for the clubman of the year was to be awarded that evening. This trophy is awarded to the member who has made a notable non competition contribution to club life. It had been decided that the work on resurrecting the web site was just such a contribution and so the shield was to be awarded to a very surprised webmaster (David Hambley).

In accepting the shield David thanked the club and acknowledged the great help provided by his son Michael throughout this flight of discovery. Pictured below is David with Michael who won the shield as a junior in 1994

Notice of Meeting

There will be a general meeting of the club at the Royal British Legion, (60 New Row, Dunfermline, Fife, KY12 7EF) on Friday 23rd January 19:00 for 19:30.

The main agenda items will be an update on and preparation for the club displays at “The Fresh Air Festival” and “Sport for All” later this year.

Fault on the Galleries

A fault has developed on all three Galleries after an update to the software. If a slideshow is started the images display in reverse order and do not increment singly resulting in images being missed out.

A service request has been put in to the software house so hopefully the problem will be fixed soon. A Danish company has reported similar problems with their website.
