Scottish Regional Assembly Ball
Following the successful business meeting
during the day, a special Regional Assembly Ball was held in the
evening at the Dunblane Hydro Hotel for delegates and their
guests.
White Heather Branch Members enjoyed a great
Ball, especially when the Regional Trophies were presented and our
Branch won the 10 Pin Bowling Trophy for the 6th year
running. We also won the Junior Quiz Trophy and the Public
Relations Trophy for the 9th time in the last 10
years. The most prestigious trophy for the ‘Most Progressive

Branch Officers and it’s Members.
Remember all Members can help the Branch
continue to receive Awards and Trophies by giving some of their
valuable time to attend, support and help with all the different
events organized by the Branch Committee.
