MosesMcNeil 1,664 Posted January 6, 2009 Share Posted January 6, 2009 Great pic M - wonder what that badge is ? Was there not a thread about the badge before D'Art? Something about a rowing club sticks in my mind but I could be wrong? There was no definitive answer. The rowing club suggestion seemed the most plausible. Moses, his brothers and other local lads were part of a sporting society who used to meet regularly in Garelochhead. Rowing was certainly part of their activities, but not exclusively. There are minutes attesting to this from rooms hired in the village hall. Luckily I've been able to access those minutes and have been granted permission to photograph them as part of my research into the founders and their life and times around these parts of Argyll. I think I've mentioned this before, but when I'm done and dusted I'd love to do an article for RM presenting the findings. My goal is twofold: firstly to present a much more detailed picture regarding the founders than currently available. And secondly to try and encourage The Rangers to do something about the shameful state of the resting place of Moses McNeil himself in Rosneath cemetery. The club had previously stated they would look into it - nothing has been done. Nothing at all. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure if you PM The Rabbitt he will be more than happy for an article to be produced, as will the rest of us on the forum as it should make for a very interesting reading. As for the second part I'm still surprised Rangers haven't taken any action if it wasn't for Moses there wouldn't be a Rangers. PS the trophy was for a half-mile run.
