Mary Cameron, who is affectionally known as May, will be celebrating her 100^th birthday on 26^th February and we’ll be making a fuss of her as she crosses the huge milestone and joins an elite group of senior citizens.

May has been a member of Carlton Stirling for 30 years and enjoys playing with her friends (Mary, Frances and Margaret) at weekends.

Gary Duncanson, General Manager of Carlton Stirling said: 

“We look forward to seeing May play bingo with us every week and we feel especially grateful to be sharing May’s 100th birthday. Congratulations May and here’s to many more.”

May was born in 1925 and as soon as she was old enough (17years and six months), she joined the Women’s Auxiliary Air Force (WAAF) to help with the war effort during WW2. She worked in the Plotting Room moving icons around various maps which was an early form of air traffic monitoring and played a vital role in the war.

After the war May felt it was time to start a family and had two sons, Alan 1948 and Brian 1951. On her return to work, May was a Clerkess at the Labour College in Tillicoultry then worked in a Tartan Mill, also as a Clerkess. 

May shares the same birthday (26^th February 1925) as Margaret Thatcher and Jack Lemmon (actor) and 1925 is also the year that the first television picture was transmitted, and the film Ben-Hur was released.

We wish you a very happy birthday May and look forward to you popping in to play your favourite pastime at your favourite club.
