What a fantastic day in Ullapool yesterday.

The Ullapool golf course Scramble in the afternoon before the main event in the evening. It was great to see such a big turnout for the Oddballs race.

Thanks go to Nanette Cowie Gourlay and the Ullapool Golf Club for organising the charity Texas scramble.

To the Oddballs Ullapool team for organising another great event. There is a lot of work that goes into organising these events and it's always a fantastic occasion.

We are so grateful to be picked as one of the recipients of the funding alongside Mikeysline. It helps recognise the importance of the work we are doing.
