Philip Douglas appointed Chancelier

Philip Evins, Bailli Délégué said “In the middle of 2007, Charles Pritchard agreed to become Chancelier when I took over the role of BD and agreed to help me in this key role for two years. He has done that with great distinction, being one of the original champions of the new website and its centralised database and being instrumental in improving many of our processes. In addition he has added his good counsel on many topics. Bravo Charles. On behalf of all the members I would like to express our thanks and wish him well as he will now be able to devote more time to his family and farm.

It is with great pleasure that I can announce the appointment of Philip Douglas as Chancelier effective 1 December 2009”.

Philip is a Civil Engineer by profession and has spent most of his working life travelling the World. He and his wife Sheila “discovered” the Chaîne and joined the Bailliage de Kouwait. In 1997 Philip and Sheila finally put down roots in Scotland and over the next decade spent much time rueing the lack of local Chaîne representation and as a last resort, set about resurrecting the Baillage d’Ecosse. In 2007 the plans became reality and with Sheila as Bailli and Philip as Vice Conseiller Gastronomique, the Chaîne was re-born North of the Border. Since then Philip and Sheila have been avid supporters and travelled to Hungary, France and New York to represent Scotland at Grand Chapitres as well as visiting many of the UK’s regional events.
