Chairman Steve Murphy said: “This is our 75th year in existence as a social club and from humble beginnings as a Home Guard Club to proud recipients of such an amazing award is truly amazing. As chairman, I have seen many highs and lows over the years but our ability to change and adapt has reaped the benefits.
"I would like to personally thank our secretary Dougie McCracken and manager Carol Robinson for their amazing commitment and effort. We do it for our members and we hope every one of them feels the pride in winning this award as much as we do.”
