THIS year's race to become Captain of the Carters for Marymass is set to be a cracker - with two long serving members going head-to-head for the honour.
Gordon Storrar - captain from 2021-25 - will face off against Andy Tremble, who served in the same role between 1997 and 2003.
A Carters spokesperson said: "The race for Marymass Captain 2026 is set to be a blockbuster!
"The 2021-2025 Captain Gordon Storrar goes up against former Marymass Captain Andy Tremble.
"The joint longest running continuous Captain of Irvine Carters Society in 300 years, Andy led Marymass from 1997 until 2003.
"Since then he’s been hard at work behind the scenes making Marymass possible.
"This is, we believe, the first time a former Captain has run for the top job many years after his last tenure."
The vote takes place on the evening of the Marymass opening ceremony on Thursday, August 13. The announcement will be made that night, at around 9.30pm outside Irvine Townhouse.
There will be a piper and entertainment on the evening, along with the sashing of the 2026 Royal Party on the Townhouse balcony.
The fun begins from 8pm on the evening, with the main event taking place from 9.15-9.40pm.
