Mr Terry Douglas
It is with great sadness that we report the death on 28 Sep 2024 of Mr Terry Douglas. Our thoughts are with his family and friends. The funeral will be held at 1100 on Mon 14 Oct 2024 at West Lothian Crematorium, Off Starlaw Rd, Livingston EH54 7FD.
1 RS REGIMENTAL BAND INFORMAL LUNCH IN THE RS CLUB 14 SEPTEMBER 2024
Six Regimental Band stalwarts including their ladies gathered for the advertised informal lunch in the RS Club last Saturday. We met in the bar, lunched in the dining room subsidised by a generous grant from Regimental Trustees, and told tall tales of yesteryear over coffee afterwards in the library.
This year’s informal arrangement was in response to the question asked of Band members after last year’s lunch, i.e. whether to hold lunches every year or every two years. Predictable, there was a 50/50 split. Hence trying an informal arrangement this year and a formal one next year. Next year’s lunch will be a formal one in the Douglas Room, as per last year, already booked for Saturday 13 September 2025, with another formal one in 2027 – unless there is any appetite for another, smaller informal one in 2026.
Meanwhile, whether a member or not, use the RS Club for meals in the dining room, bar lunches, morning coffee, afternoon tea, or simply for refreshments in the bar. The difference between being a member and not is that members qualify for the members discount. But be sure to declare that you are an Old Royal, in order to keep the RS flag flying!
Looking forward to seeing you next September – and hopefully before.
