THE BRITISH
CAITHNESS
AEROPLANE COMPANY
Caithness RFC plays their home games at the
Millbank Rugby Ground in Thurso and Wick and
their first team competed in the Caledonia League
Division 1 last season. They are a club that plays a
vital role in their local community with a successful
first team and a number of youth sides in place.
Rugby Club Magazine caught up with the club’s
Chairman George Sinclair to find out more about
the good work that they have been doing on and off
the pitch.
He told us, “I first became involved as a regular
spectator at games and in 2008 was asked to join
committee. I was then made Vice Chairman in May
2009 before becoming Chairman last May(2013). I
never played rugby, just a keen fan.Being a livestock
farmer and married with a four year old son one of the
biggest challenges for me is finding time for the role. It
is certainly very rewarding and sometimes demanding
with so much happening at the club in the last 12
months.
The mood here is very positive with us gaining
Coaching Scotland accreditation in April 2013.
Murrayfield put in new posts last summer and our
secretary Shona Kirk won a competition to win the old
international posts which were installed at Millbank the
day before our first competitive game of the season in
August. Shona has put in a huge amount of work to
bring together the funding and clubhouse project.
Chris Paterson, Scotland’s most capped player was in
attendance, also doing some new coaching sessions.
The building of our new clubhouse began in August
and was in use by the end of January. It was opened
by SRU vice president Ian Rankin on the weekend 9/11
May.
Bathrooms on a Budget

project in these difficult economic times! Whether your project is a simple
freshen up or a major refurbishment, William Wilson have the products and

When thinking about a redesign, the position of your current suite will have an impact
on the cost of the project, as it will be much cheaper for you to have your fixtures
installed in the same positions as the old ones. In this way there is little need to
drastically change any of the plumbing within the room.
