The matters to be discussed are tidiness of the pier, future management arrangements, charging arrangements and what future, if any, CHUG will have. A full report will be put in the Antler next month. THE CINEMA Sat 24 May 2008 for 6 days at 8.00pm Forgetting Sarah Marshall cert 15 Sat 31 May 2008 for 5 days at 8.00pm (Not Monday) Nim's Island cert U Mon 2 Jun 2008 for 1 day at 8.00pm The Other Boleyn Girl cert 12A Sat 7 June 2008 for 6 days at 8.00pm Iron Man cert 12A CARRADALE CRICKET CLUB The new season started on Sun 27th April in beautiful weather, with a match against Cairndow at Carradale. The home side batted first and made 82 with S. Walker(33) and A. Keogh(25) the main run getters. Carradale looked to have the game under control, when the opposition was reduced to 11-5, but subsequent wild bowling resulted in a defeat by 4 wickets. S. Downie, A. Keogh, R. Rixson and S. Walker all bowled well however. The first league match was played on Sun 11th May, again in wonderful conditions, on the beautiful little ground at Sannox on the Island of Arran. The home side batted first and scored 188 with S. Beasley(35), C. Marriott(47) and T. Brooks(39) the main contributors. This score was much inflated by poor fielding and catching by the visitors and too many extras given away. The bowling of the McMillan brothers was excellent, with Charles bowling 8 overs for 5 runs and 1 wicket, with 6 consecutive maidens. Alistair took 3-25 in his 8 overs, with Aidan Keogh (the captain) taking 3-39 and S. walker 2-39. Unfortunately, there was a total batting collapse with Carradale being bowled out for 26 runs, only Keogh(12) getting into double figures. The inexperienced team took their defeat on the chin and learned a lot from the way Sannox went about their play in the field and also their quick running between the wickets. The next match is at Carradale on the 25th May against Mid-Argyll. The club wishes to thank Wum Semple and Donald Macalister Hall for their rollers, Bobby Willan for his mower and to Lachie Macalister for getting the heavy roller up and running again after it had lain dormant at Torrisdale for nearly 70 years ! Also, thanks to Nonnie Macalister and Robert Strang for helping with the grass cutting and the ladies for the tea between the innings (one of the delights of a cricket match) ! THE TARTAN DAWN WALK Jose, Joanna and Irene are organising the Tartan Dawn Walk on the 22nd June 2008. Leaving from the Network Centre at 5.00am and walking to Grianan and returning to the Network Centre via Deer Hill. All money raised will be going to local Cancer Charities. Please support us.

We wish to sincerely apologise to all customers for this disruption to service. Work is ongoing to resolve these difficulties and we hope to resume normal service shortly. Issued by Lynda Syed on 07/05/2008 12:24:12 APRIL RAINFALL IN GROGPORT The rainfall recorded in April was 83mm (a little over 3 inches). This is below average for the month. The monthly range over the last few years has been between 66 and 188 mm (2½ and 7½ inches). The April rainfall pattern too, was atypical, instead of the frequent short showers that we might expect …. April 1st certainly had us fooled as it brought 23mm (nearly an inch), a further 13mm (½ inch) fell on the 23rd and, whilst we did get showers on other days, there were three unusually dry spells notably between the dates 6th-9th, 12th-14th & 17th-21st. It hasn’t seemed very ‘Spring- like’ and the heat from indoors or behind glass has been deceptive. Temperatures struggled with strong winds from northerly and easterly directions so the glorious April temperatures of last year were indeed a very hazy memory. What a difference a year makes. The weather certainly gives us lots of ammunition as we, in true British fashion, talk about it and contemplate what the ‘Summer’ has in store. Margaret Leighton Editor’s note: Margaret, correctly, keeps strictly to her monthly brief; the temperatures in the first week of May could be the subject of comment in the July Antler, out, confusingly, at the end of June.
