Two Beith couples are celebrating their Golden Wedding Anniversaries on the same day.

Ann and Duncan Meldrum know Libby and Adam Calderwood through both couples’ involvement with Beith Bowling Club.

Ann and Duncan and Libby and Adam will have been married 50 years on March 30.

But despite both couples having known each other for many years, neither realised they shared their anniversaries until 10 years ago when they both turned up to the same place to celebrate their 40th.

The Meldrums and Calderwoods will celebrate their special day with their respective families.

But the two couples have already marked the milestone together after enjoying a glass of bubbly at the Meldrums’ on Sunday.

Ann said: “It was lovely. We got together and had a wee drink of champagne. We had a smashing weekend.”
