The Glasgow Warriors take on the London Wasps at Firhill stadium next friday (28th August @ 7:30pm).   We will be meeting in the Aitken Suite at Firhill stadium before the match for a pint about 7pm.

If you are a fan of Dance* music then why not visit Itunes and check out the latest release from KSOB Stephen Lopkin (95).

Available music includes the “Frantic EP” and his most recent offering “Deux EP”.

Enjoy.

*To avoid confusion…. this sort of dance music does not involve a big band ensemble  !!

For those who are not afraid of the technology it is worth noting that there are literally hundreds of Keil School Old Boys to be found on the Facebook website.  Within the website there are at least two groups dedicated to KSOB.

To use the site you need to create an account.

From the current committee -  Jim MacFarlane (88), Fergus Allan (77) and Allan Thomson (95) can all be found on Facebook and are always happy to hear from any KSOBs who use that site.

The KSOB club will have a presence at most of the Glasgow Warriors games at Firhill Park, Glasgow, G20 7AL (Partick Thistle football ground).  All the scheduled home games are listed below. 

We usually meet in the bar at the stadium for a quick pint about 30 mins before the match - and can often be tempted into another afterwards !

It is now less than a month till our planned old boys cruise on the Waverley paddle steamer.  The cruise will take place on the evening of Friday 31^st July 2009.  I am assured that despite its ‘little bump’ last week that the ship will be operating normally by this weekend and our cruise is not in jeopardy.

The evening cruise departs Glasgow Science Centre Friday 31st July 2009 at 19:30 and returns at 23:00.

Parking available at the Glagow Science Centre car park.

The Old Boys Club offer a discounted ticket price of £15.00 per person. The trip is scheduled to pass by the old school grounds at Helenslee and the club will provide champagne to toast our old school as we sail by.

Ritchie Bruce, whilst trying to negotiate his handicap this years McCormick medal let slip that his landscaping company in Balfron have joined the 21st Century and now have a web presence.

Seeing as he did a cracking job in my back garden last year, I’m happy to include the link for you here.

McCormick medal planned for 17th October already has some high quality entries, with former winner Gavin Bruce and younger brother Richard already booked in at Caiplie House, along with Mikel Richter.
Campbell Savage will be joining us too, so if you’re after a room in Crail, best contact Finlay soon.

Fishing: Wednesday the 24th June.
The take up so far is six and three boats have been booked,
there are normally two per boat but at a pinch three can fish if
required. The cost will be split with the Old Boys Club subsidising the outing by paying 50% of the boat hire.
Contact Jim McLean (j_maclean@ntlworld.com) if you are interested in joining the party.

Finlay Kerr tells us of his forthcoming 100 mile bike ride around the Trossachs to raise money for Action medical research.
