The Club’s annual “smoker” in Newcastle upon Tyne, built as usual around the famous Northumberland Plate horse race, takes place this Saturday, 27 June.

Twenty-five players and officials are expected to make the train trip and this year’s Broughty travelling party are sure to be a bit more colourful than usual – they’re all going in fancy dress!

At least one hippy and a pharaoh are expected to be sighted – and a good laugh should be had by all.
