ARDROSSAN Winton Rovers are hosting a memorial service for family members or friends of anyone who have had their ashes scattered at the club's home ground.

The event is being held as the club prepares to replace the current grass pitch at Winton Park with a new synthetic surface over the summer.

Supporters are also welcome to attend the event which is to be held at the ground on Sunday, May 19.

The gates will open at Winton Park from 12pm before the memorial service begins one hour later.

Refreshments and food will be served afterwards to all who wish to come along and pay their tributes.

Following the service, and completion of the works at Winton Park, a lasting tribute will also be created for those who had their ashes scattered on the pitch.

Winton plan to create a plaque which dawns the name of all those people who had such a strong affiliation with the club.

This plaque will be brought out for every match played at Winton Park in the future.
