Campaign pays off for pavilion
Tablers raise cash for pal David
Maybole groups teamed up in an effort to restore a sports hub in the town.
Carrick Round Table and North Carrick Community Sports Hub are doing up the Sommerville Pavilion in memory of former round tabler David Sommerville. In 1991, David died in a road accident following a weekend of community work with the group. He had been club chairman the year before. Family, friends and fellow tablers were determined to build a fitting memorial to him and what followed was Carrick Round Table’s largest fundraising campaign, resulting in the building of the Sommerville Pavilion in the Glebe Park, Maybole. In recent times, the pavilion had fallen into a state of disrepair and Carrick Round Table started a campaign on Maybole Gala Day 2016 to raise funds for its restoration. And recently the pavilion was formally reopened for the inaugural Maybole Sommerville Sports Festival.
