We are deeply saddened to learn of the passing of one of our old conductors, Hugh Crosbie.

We have lots of great memories of Hughie - he was the conductor in our first Scottish Championship win, our first Scottish Open win, and our first Irish Open win, and put us on the road to being the outfit we are today. A true gentleman who will be sadly missed by all who knew him.

Our thoughts and deepest condolences are with his family at this sad time.
