LCC Affiliates To The RCCC

Interestingly; as we know from our TIMELINE, Lanark CC had been in existence since before 1783, and the Royal Caledonian Curling Club (RCCC – WIKIPEDIA) had been in existence since 1838; with the ‘Royal’ charter awarded in 1843. So why 53 years to affiliate to the RCCC? To be possibly answered in due course?

Again from our TIMELINE you may have observed that we have a complete set of MINUTES from 1865 onwards, and the above is the relevant page and Minutes covering the 1896 AGM.
Below is an extract off the Page ……………..

…………..in which we note the first mention of ‘Representative Members To The RCCC’ – William Crichton (President) & Thomas Tennant; thus confirming the date is correct, as per the RCCC’s records.
And to this day there are still two Representatives appointed; as per our current OFFICE BEARERS listings – HERE. (enter Committee in SEARCH Box)
