New President – Ken Russell
Ken Russell (MC 1965) has been installed as the Club President in succession to Charles Wilson. Ken who lives in St Andrews where he operates principally as a business advisor these days spent much of his working life leading his own construction company and is remembered as a combative forward in the Melville College FP 1st XV for a number of years. Hopefully the activities of the club resume some time soon so that Ken is able to represent the club in the ways that he would wish.
