FUNDRAISING CLUB DAY – Saturday 17th June 2023
This unique annual event defines what makes Auchinleck Talbot so special and underlines the strong bond between the club, the fans, and sponsors. It serves as a reminder of the esteemed place the club has within the village.
The social club was jam packed for this year’s event acknowledging the efforts of the players and their achievements during the past season where they lifted the West of Scotland League Cup, finished runners up in the league and had another successful run in the senior Scottish Cup.
The fundraising club has for years played in a pivotal role in providing funds to sign new players and extend the contracts of current players. New members are welcome and can join by paying £10/month (for 10months) or a one-off payment of £100 – contact Henry Dumigan 07929 525494 or Bobby Millar 07771 508907 if you wish to join.
Ross Taylor, Chris Stafford & Keir Samson joined the day’s celebrations, and each received awards acknowledging and thanking them for their efforts. All three players have now left the club and they do so with the warm wishes of everyone at Auchinleck Talbot.

round. The game will take place on Saturday the 21st October 2023 with a 2pm kick-off at the “Undertakers” Parklea Community Sports Facility. It seems strange to think that it’s nearly eight year since we last paid a visit to Parklea when we enjoyed a 4-0 Scottish Junior Cup win over our hosts on the 24th January 2015 with Campbell, Spence, Gormley and Shankland doing the damage.
