Thanks to all Supporters' Club members who stayed on after the last game of the season to congratulate the winners of this year's awards. It was very encouraging to see young Graeme Rodger picking up 2 awards alongside veteran Steve Dolan who was chosen as Clubman of the Year. Special thanks to Andrew and Callum Fraser ( grandsons of 'Biz' Leslie) for presenting Scott Fraser with the Supporters' Club Player of the Year. Many congratulations to Eddie Bruce on being nominated Supporter of the Year for his commitment and dedication to the Club. The full list of winners can be found below this article or by clicking on the AWARDS link on the left hand side of the home page.
A huge thank you to all members and friends who supported us on the Sponsored Gym Cycle in April. The Supporters Club are delighted to announce that we raised £1400 which has been handed over to Walter, Kenny and Kevin to add to their fund.
We are about to increase our range of merchandise by adding 3 new styles of T-shirts. We hope to take delivery of these in 10-14 days, so watch this space for details.
Our summers BBQ will take place on Saturday 19th June at The Railway Inn, Banff from 2pm onwards. An open invitation is extended to all members and guests.
Finally, we would like to thank all members for their support throughout last season. Your attendance at games, on the buses, at social events, committee meetings, donations for raffles and even sweeties on the buses are all very much appreciated and we look forward to your continued support in season 2010/11.

A special award voted for by the Lady members of the Supporters' Club was won by newcomer Michele Lombardi.
It's that time of year once again
When we sort out the boys from the men!
Our ladies have looked long and hard
For the bum held in the highest regard
We do not make light of this choice
Each voter gets an equal voice
They say "give praise where praise is due"
And that's just what we're going to do
We think thier bum is the best
All our ladies were very impressed!
Our winner is surely first class
For having a near-perfect ...............bottom!
This award is the creme de la creme
And the winner has a right little gem
The contest was very fiercely fought
We hope the losers are not too distraught
In 2nd place - no trophy for you
Is Scotty Fraser - but thanks for the view!
The time is now almost here
To announce our "Rear of the Year"
A deserved winner I'll say
Of the most important trophy today
This years Rear of the Year winner is ..... Michele Lombardi!

Thanks to everyone who took part or sponsored us in our gym cycle. Over the two weeks we managed to clock up more than 600 miles. Special thanks to junior members Scott Christie, Jayde Bruce, Gavin Still, Christopher Cran and Steven Watson for their efforts and of course to Tommy Cumming who cycled to Whitehills twice every day, a total distance of over 250 miles. It was great to see so many members at Princess Royal Park on Saturday to cheer the cyclist home.

The boys are coached by Mark Chisholm and Colin Legge who will be travelling with them. The Supporters' Club are pleased to make a donation of £200 to help and wish them well on their adventure.
