Derek Hall reported that arrangements were in hand for the Ellie's Cellar wine tasting in the Commodore Hotel on Friday November 17, and said that donations of raffle prizes would be welcomed.

It was reported that the Garelochside club might not stage the joint clubs Christmas Dinner this year, and the president will contact his opposite number to confirm this.

Adam Muggoch reported that the Yacht Club now envisaged being in its new premises in two years time, and they hoped that the club would continue to lunch there.

The Dumbarton club is considering visiting the club on Tuesday December 5, but this has still to be confirmed.
