GOOD NEWS!!!!

The Coat of Arms restoration fund has been awarded £500 from the St Andrews Fund for Scots Heraldry!

An encouraging start for the fundraising effort, and great to have the support from an organisation which has a wealth of knowledge about heraldry. Thankyou!


Coat of Arms Quiz Winner!!

It was the intention of the Coat of Arms Restoration Group that the prize for the winner of the Coat of Arms Quiz should be to switch on Oldmeldrum’s Christmas Lights. Sadly the weather caused this event to be cancelled so there was no prize available.

Since then a supporter of the group has provided a £25 gift voucher from Strachan’s of Inverurie for the winner. It was suggested that it could perhaps be presented by the TV celebrity who is to open the Oldmeldrum Sports this year. The Sports Committee has kindly agreed to this.

There were 5 all correct entries in the individual entrant category and 3 all correct group entries. It was decided that the winner should come from the individual entrants and as there was only one prize, the winner was ‘picked from a hat’ and is Clare Hoskins.

Congratulations Clare!

She will be presented with the prize by Chris Chittell, better known as Eric Pollard from Emmerdale, at Meldrum Sports on Saturday 18th June.

Thank you and well done to all those who entered. The standard was high. Our apologies for the delay in establishing a winner.
