TALBOT NEWSLETTER – Mon 4 August 2025
Cover Photo: After Saturday’s match Henry Dumigan & Colin Chisholm presented Arthurlie FC President David Blakey with a silver salver to commemorate what may prove to be our last visit to Dunterlie Park, with the Barrhead club looking to move to a new home. The plaque was to acknowledge the many matches and memories this venue has staged between two of the great historic rivals. It was a gesture greatly appreciated by everyone at Arthurlie FC.

TALBOT WALL – EXTENSION
Brick by brick, the community has helped build this club from the foundations up to what it has become and achieved to date. As a symbol of this, we created an inscribed bricked corridor wall where supporters could buy a brick and have their name forever in the club.
Due to the successful uptake of this we are about to release our final 100 bricks in the social club corridor, once these have been sold there will be no further space in corridor.
Perfect as a unique gift, to commemorate a special occasion or to remember a loved one.
The cost is £32 per brick with proceeds from the Talbot Wall Extension going towards the clubs development fund which will be used to fund upcoming projects. Full details of upcoming projects will be revealed shortly.
Please register your interest with Henry Dumigan by email to [email protected] or by text to 07929525494
JOHN & MARGO KILTIE
Auchinleck Talbot F.C. would like to acknowledge their sincere appreciation to John and Margo Kiltie (J.M.K.) for having been the Club’s Shirt Sponsor for 23 years. Their unbelievably generous support over all these years has been instrumental in the Club’s success. Towards the end of last season John indicated that he felt perhaps a change of name on the front of the shirt would be a good thing for the Club from a commercial point of view and we were delighted when Brian Paterson of Emerald Contracts agreed to take up this sponsorship and we look forward to an exciting future together. John and Margo however are more than happy to continue their support to the Club and J.M.K. will now appear on the Right Sleeve of the Jersey as well as the back of the Team Tracksuits and thereby continuing their long relationship with the Club and we must thank them for their outstanding generosity.
