A special thanks to our sponsors, Glengoyne Distillery, James D Bilsland Fuel Distributor, Lomond Logs, Lomond View Stores and Garage, Paul Gallagher Glazing and Stirling & Gilmour.

Thanks also to the ladies in the kitchen including Janet, Caitlin, Liz, Florence, Christine and Margaret for their sterling efforts throughout a long day.
