Doon Valley Golf Club and the wider community in East Ayrshire said farewell to an esteemed local character and long time club official last Friday, 28th August, when the funeral took place in Dalmellington of Hugh Johnstone M.B.E., who passed away a few days earlier, at the age of 90.Hugh had many years of involvement with Doon Valley Golf Club, serving the club as Secretary at the time of his passing.
A contributor to many local initiatives, he was best known for his involvement with the brass band movement in Dalmellington and further afield, becoming Honorary Vice President of The Brass Band Association a few years ago, and receiving an M.B.E. in 1982 for his services to the brass band movement.
Hugh was a remarkable and very popular man in the Doon Valley and beyond and was highly respected by all who knew him.
Sincere condolences are extended to Hugh's daughter and family from The Ayrshire Golf Association at this sad time.
