WE WERE ALL saddened and shocked with the news of John “Balloch” Matheson’s death. He will be sorely missed. John worked on spòrsnis for several months in 2000 and indeed was responsible for our successful funding application to Sportscotland.
Committee members Norman Thomson and Iain Gordon Macdonald met with Donald MacRitchie (Domhnall a’ Mhinisteir ex 26 Swainbost) recently to discuss assistance with the carriage of equipment from London to Ness. Donald is delighted to help and has offered to collect and deliver the equipment at no cost to spòrsnis. This is a wonderful gesture and will save us a substantial sum. He is also happy to assist with any other equipment we may require to be delivered. We are grateful to Donald for this. Donald and his wife Catriona were given a guided tour of spòrsnis with which they were most impressed.
The pace of work at the site has now increased considerably following the trade holidays and we will continue to monitor progress and report significant developments.
