KINTYRE CLUB MAKES LATEST ROUND OF DONATIONS

[mawex]

As you may know, a primary goal of The Kintyre Club is to follow in the charitable tradition of the original Kintyre Club, which was in existence from 1825 until 1981. Accordingly, all member dues are used to fund worthy causes in the Kintyre region. Earlier this year, we solicited applications for our latest round of donations. The directors and officers of The Kintyre Club recently met to review and approve the applications submitted and we are pleased to report that we have made gifts totaling £4,995 in cash and in-kind donations, to a number of deserving organizations. Organizations receiving cash or in-kind donations include:

• Mach Dunes Sound of Kintyre Pipe Band
• Tayinloan Youth Club
• South Kintyre Senior Citizens Committee
• Young Disabled Group
• Young Disabled Group
• Machrihanish Village Hall
• Kintyre Schools Pipe Band
• 1st Campbeltown Company Boys Brigade
• Golf Camp

In addition, we made cash gifts to 2013 graduating university students to help cover the cost of their graduation robes and portraits and to recognize their academic achievement. To be eligible, students had to attend Campbeltown Grammar School and complete a minimum three year university degree programme. Recipients were:

• David Cosgrove
• Andrew Lazuras
• Hazel McDonald
• Lorne MacPherson
• Sarah Muir
• Hazel Barr
• Laura Campbell
• Ewan Bannatyne

The gifts were awarded at a reception held at The Kintyre Club in The Ugadale Hotel at The Village at Machrihanish Dunes on Saturday. 14 December.

The next scheduled meeting of the Directors to consider applications will take place in March 2014. To apply for a grant, please contact The Kintyre Club care of The Ugadale Hotel, Machrihanish or email Keith Martin at kintyreclub@machdunes.com. To be considered for the next round of donations, all applications must be received by 1 March 2014.

The Directors and Officers of The Kintyre Club thank our members for their support, which makes these donations possible!
