This development of its own traditions is important for a club and the support of 14 other teams for as far afield as Banff and Edinburgh ensured that it was once again a most popular and entertaining afternoon for players and spectators alike.
At the end of the day the Bon-Record Trophy returned to Edinburgh for a third year to sit in the display cabinet alongside many more cups won over the years by the various teams of George Heriot's F.Ps.

50 Years Ago

Friday, April 18, 1958

AT a meeting held on Monday evening, a Rabbit Clearance Society was formed for the area embracing Banchory-Devenick and Maryculter.
Mr J. Irvine-Fortescue, Kingcausie, presided over an attendance of over 30 occupiers of land and intimated that 50 people had agreed to join.
That membership, he said, accounted for an acreage of more than 7000 in the two districts.
The new body will be registered as an industrial and provident society and will be eligible for the 50 per cent grant offered by the Department of Agriculture.
Draft rules were formally approved and it was agreed that the membership fee should be one shilling per share, and that the annual subscription will not exceed one shilling per acre of ground occupied by each member.
It is hoped that a trapper will start work for the society in the near future.
A public meeting to discuss the formation of a similar society was held at Stonehaven last Thursday evening, at which Mr W. G. Kinghorn, senior inspector of the North-Eastern Area Agricultural Society, explained the working of the scheme and the details of available grants.
Owing to the small attendance, no decision was taken and the matter will be further discussed at a meeting to be held on May 15.

100 Years Ago

Thursday, April 16, 1908

NUMEROUS meetings have been held throughout the county by the election candidates and their supporters, as well as by the Suffragists and the temperance organisations.

***
The conduct of a section of the audience at the Town Hall meeting on Saturday night was, to say the least of it, disgraceful.
To go there and imbibe spirits was an act leading to disturbance, and anything but fair to the ladies who could not claim police assistance, and who do not resort to the 'chucking out' process to which they are subjected.
One of the lady speakers put the disturbers down as Captain Murray's supporters, but, as a matter of fact, they have no vote and would have perhaps treated him in the same way as the ladies, were it not fore the fear of being chucked out.
