Sadly after a long illness with Parkinson's disease Jimmy died in the
Glasgow Royal Infirmary in the early hours of Saturday morning on the
04th of November. Jimmy had been a member of the club for over 31 years
having joined in 1986 when John MacFarlane was the then Club
President. Jimmy was a character and his stiff upright mode of
walking got him the nickname 'Sgt.Major'.
He had
many friends in the club especially his Friday night mates who he
regularly played dominoes with and by all accounts he was a canny
player. Robert Burns, Bob Clark, Brian Hughes, Robert Park, John
MacDonald, Ian Skillen to name but a few had many a Friday night tussle
with their old pal.
Unfortunately a couple of years ago his health deteriorated and he was
taken into Rodger Park Care Home A lovely man who will be fondly
remembered by everyone at Cambuslang BC. Our sincere
condolences go to his family.

Sadly our longest serving member Jim Meikle died on the evening of 1st Feb. after a long illness.
Jim joined the club we reckon in 1964 which was 54 years a
member! He had many many friends in the club and was also well
kent at various
other bowling clubs.
He and his wife Past Lady President Cathie were
ever present at our cabarets where they were joined by lifelong friends
Past President Jim Low and his wife May Low.
Jim was a proud Cambuslang B.C. member and he will be buried in his
club blazer, shirt and tie. A lovely big man who will be fondly
remembered by everyone at Cambuslang B.C. Our sincere
condolences go to his wife Cathie and the family.
