Our Club flag is flying at half-mast as a mark of respect for our President, Sir Hew Hamilton-Dalrymple who died on 26th December after a long illness.

Sir Hew has always been a stalwart supporter and very good friend to ELYC. We are very grateful for all the help he has given to our Club during his term as President.

We send our deepest sympathy to his family and are thinking of them at this difficult time.

A funeral mass will be held at Our Lady, Star of the Sea Church, Law Road, North Berwick, on Friday, Januray 4 at 9.45am

As many of you will have noticed, our clubhouse roof is leaking, with tubs in the café and buckets in the attic, it’s clear that it now needs to be replaced to protect our much-loved clubhouse for the future.

The good news is that work is underway. Planning permission has been granted, and the project is expected to cost around £50,000. We’ve already secured a £5,000 grant from the North Berwick Trust, are applying for more funding, and will carefully use club reserves while keeping the club financially secure.

Fundraising will play an important part, and we’re keen to make this a fun and engaging process for everyone. Our target for this year, 2026, is £5,000. There are lots of ways to get involved
