Inchmarlo vote
From http://deesidesquashracquetballclub.blogspot.com/
Well, the planning officers were over-ruled again - the Marr area committee voted in favour of the proposals at Inchmarlo and it'll now go to the full council for ratification. Two of our three local Banchory councillors voted against the proposals - Karen Clark (Lib Dem) and Linda Clark (SNP) - sitting side by side in the photo below - but Jill Webster (Con) voted to approve the project.

Inchmarlo
From http://deesidesquashracquetballclub.blogspot.com/
Today's an important day for Deeside tourism - and potentially for squash too. The local Marr area committee are meeting to decide on whether to recommend approval to the main council next month of the plans that have been lodged in respect of Inchmarlo Golf Club for a hotel, houses and leisure project.
The council officers have recommended refusal - but then again, their recommendation for acceptance of the development plans at the Tor-na-Coille was thankfully overturned by the councillors. It'll be interesting to see how this one gets along - there are issues with transport infrastructure etc.
The development represents what is probably the last, lingering hope of new squash courts in Banchory in our lifetimes. Whilst the current plans do not contain specific proposals for squash courts, the nature of the leisure development will facilitate their provision. Richard Simcox has had discussions with Colin Wilson on this matter and Richard feels confident that courts will be included should the proposed development get approved.
For those that missed the front and inside pages of yesterday's P & J, here's the articles (click on to enlarge):

Shona Marshall
From http://deesidesquashracquetballclub.blogspot.com/
Shona was a stalwart of the club for a number of years, but she then moved out to farm near Alford and took up shooting - very succcessfully too - a silver medal at the Commonwealth Games - check http://www.pressandjournal.co.uk/Article.aspx/1958786 - and a column in the P & J.
This old photo of her was shown at our 25th anniversary dinner at Banchory Lodge back in 2004:
Well done, Shona!

The bodge team of Stewart and Salter tried to put the shower door back on last night after squash. The operation was half successful - the door is on again but we didn't fit it properly - it's not attached to the side, so it needs to be used with care for the time being.
Stewart, Salter and Corbett are playing doubles again tomorrow (Monday) and we're looking for at least one more to join us. We plan to start at 4:00 pm - please let us know if you can make it.

For those that didn't see yesterday's P & J, there were front and inside pages on the planning application for Inchmarlo - no mention of squash courts, however:
