There was widespread pleasure when the Burns Howff Club’s Executive Committee agreed to confer an honorary membership on Stewart Tweedie, the club’s senior surviving past president.
Stewart served with distinction as president in 1970-71 and has been a tower of strength to the club ever since. As he does not enjoy the best of health at the moment, President Bill Graham and Hon. Secretary David Smith called at his home, Woodside Farm near New Abbey where Bill presented his certificate.
Stewart, who was delighted with the gesture, spent a fascinating hour reminiscing of his early days in the club and the characters such as Provost Ernie Robertson, Dr. George Stirling, David Miller (senior) and others who made the Burns Howff Club great.
