At our last Executive Committee meeting it was unanimously agreed that we appoint our past chairman Mr James H.A. Mandeson to be one of our Vice Presidents.Jim as he likes to be known was delighted to hear of his appointment and says he feels really honoured that we feel that he deserves such an accolade in such a short time with us, but we know just what sterling work he has done for the Fedreation in that time.

We also welcomed Mr David Docherty to the Executive Committee. David was appointed as our Development Officer and commenced with his duties on the 1st of June at the Galston Football Festival. David will be concentrating with his duties within the Social Inclusion Partnership areas of Ayrshire and we wish him well with these and I know he can rely on support from both the Executive Committee and all of our members.I know David will be happy to assist any of our members all they have to do is ask.                                                       David's Telephone / Fax number is as follows 0141 585 5637.

Later in the year between 3rd - 14th September two of our young people will be travelling to Vancouver in Canada on a Youth Exchange Excursion. They have been asked to compose a condensed report on this trip and share their experiences with our other young members and this report will appear here when they return.
