BuddieinEK Posted November 9, 2019 Report Share Posted November 9, 2019 Just in from a Sportsman's dinner... Amazing night. So funny. Run meticulously by the good people of EK Golf Club. Raised an incredible £9,000 between two charities.... One being EK Dementia Carers, the other Kilbryde Hospice. People were beyond generous with their support and encouragement. Also have a local garage offering free service and mot for our minibus! More about that to follow! All that... A great free meal... and I'm sore with laughter thanks to speakers Bill Leckie and John Gaughan who were hillarious. John Gaughan in particular was the funniest and most accomplished after dinner speaker I've heard... Up with the top comedians I've seen at the Fringe. Highly recommend going to see him if you ever get the chance. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DumboBud Posted November 9, 2019 Report Share Posted November 9, 2019 I’ve had the pleasure of listening to John Gaughan a couple of time’s and he has always been excellent. I’ve only seen Bill Leckie once and it was at a BB display where he was the guest of honour at his old Brigade, was really good with all the boys and you could see the genuine affection and respect that he had for the leaders many of whom were there when he was a boy. His books are excellent too. Well done on the fund raising. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Long John Baldy Posted November 9, 2019 Report Share Posted November 9, 2019 Apologies for my post, I should have read the original post more clearly, I shouldn't post on my phone while half cut and half asleep. ha 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
