In memoriam: George Rooney
We recently heard from Clare, the daughter of legendary and sadly missed former Montrose player George Rooney. This inspired us to share the following photos courtesy of Alan McPherson (you can click each image to view larger on flickr.com).

Last Night of the 2007/8 Season in Photos
Some photos of Glasgow Montrose Chess Club’s final night of the 2007/8 season can be found here (flickr.com).
GMCC was displaced from it’s (former) premises by some bagpipe playing types, so we repaired to the nearby Hogshead on Woodlands Road. This proved a blessing in disguise, as a very enjoyable evening of al fresco chess & beer ensued…
