Is sufficient to add a dash of novelty to the start of the 1967-68 rugby season a week tomorrow.

In officials lan Archibald (ex-Musselburgh), Dan Thomson (Daniel Stewart's) and Dr. McBoyle (Aberdeen University) the urge is strong to put Huntly on the rugby map as soon as possible.

The fixture secretary at Huntly, Helen Cameron, stated: "The sustainability award will make such a difference to us.

We do not have a permanent pitch of our own at the moment which does create quite a few issues, especially during the winter months when daylight is limited.

The new lights we are planning will enable us to use the pitch to its potential and protect the grass as we will not be constantly training on the same section.
