But that all changed thanks to a £3400 grant from the Clyde Windfarm Community Fund, which will pay for new table cloths, pockets and cushions and carpeting at the club base in Howiesons Square.

“The cloths on our three tables are badly worn as they’ve not been replaced in five years,” said club treasurer Robert Muir (74).

“There is also a rip on one of the cloths. For a while we just didn’t have the money to upgrade such things, but this grant has changed all that.”
