PROGRAMME FOR 2008
THE YEAR STARTS WITH A SOCIETY PRESENTATION EVENING AT MUGDOCK COUNTRY PARK ON MONDAY 14 JANUARY. THIS FOLLOWS ON FROM A SIMILAR SUCCESSFUL EVENT IN NOVEMBER 2006.
THE TWO MAIN ACTIVITIES WHICH WILL TAKE PLACE IN 2008 ARE THE SOCIETY AGM AND THE AUTUMN FIELD TRIP.
THE AGM WILL BE HELD ON SATURDAY MAY 24TH AND MEMBERS ARE REQUESTED TO MEET FIRSTLY AT St. GILES CATHEDRAL AT 11.15 AM FOR A SHORT DEDICATION AT THE MONTROSE MEMORIAL. THEREAFTER THE AGM AND LUNCH WILL BE HELD AT THE NEARBY FACULTY OF ADVOCATES. THE GUEST SPEAKER THIS YEAR WILL BE THE AUTHOR AND HISTORIAN RONALD WILLIAMS. RONALD’S BOOK ‘MONTROSE – CAVALIER IN MOURNING’ IS WIDELY REGARDED AS ONE OF THE FINEST OF ALL THE ACCOUNTS OF MONTROSE AND THE SOCIETY IS EXTREMELY FORTUNATE TO BE ABLE TO HAVE HIM AS OUR GUEST SPEAKER. MEMBER’S GUESTS ARE WELCOME TO ATTEND THIS EVENT BUT ONLY BY PRIOR ARRANGEMENT WITH THE SECRETARY.
THE 2008 FIELD TRIP WILL THIS YEAR BE HELD OVER 3 DAYS ON 5/6/7 SEPTEMBER. WE WILL BE BASED THIS YEAR AT ABERDEEN, WITH VISITS PLANNED TO FYVIE CASTLE AND SOUTHESK.
