ChildLine Aberdeen, Scotland Golf Open Tournament




The 2007 annual ChildLine Aberdeen Golf Open Tournament will take place at Newburgh-on-the-Ythan Golf Course on Friday 7 September 2007 with a shotgun start of 11 am. The event raises funds for ChildLine Scotland North and North East and the Aberdeen counselling centre. Teams of four are invited to take part. At 9:30 am bacon rolls will be provided for the golfers and after the Child Line Aberdeen Golf Open Tournament there will be a two course meal with coffee followed by prize giving, a draw and charity auction.


ChildLine Scotland is a free Scottish helpline for children and young people in danger or distress. It provides a telephone counselling service for any child with any problem. Every day around 725 children and young people call ChildLine Scotland but currently lack of funds means that only around 396 are able to get through to their counsellors for comfort, advice and protection. They still have a long way to go before they can answer every caller at their first attempt, but they know that their ever growing team of trained counsellors in Aberdeen are making a considerable difference.

My new novel:

The Fence Aberdeen Zombie post apocalyptic military survival Novel Book

The Aberdeen skies are under attack from an enemy jet. It is spilling a strange yellow smoke. Minutes later, people start killing each other.
Former Royal Air Force Regiment Gunner Jason Harper witnesses this and then his wife, Pippa, telephones him, shouting that she needs him. They then get cut off. He sets straight out, unprepared for the nightmare that unfolds during his journey. Everyone seems to want to kill him.
Along the way, he pairs up with fellow survivor Imogen. But she enjoys killing the living dead far too much. Will she kill Jason in her blood thirst? Or will she hinder his journey through this zombie filled dystopian landscape to find his pregnant wife?
The Fence is the first in this series of post-apocalyptic military survival thrillers from the torturous mind of local horror and science fiction novel writer C.G. Buswell.

Aberdeen Lynne Golden Retriever

Have you seen my beautiful golden retriever Lynne out and about in Aberdeen? Ask her for a high-five! She's a Bravehound PTSD assistance dog, so we'll often be in shops, restaurants, and the cinema together.

We've written a book where I talk about growing up in Aberdeen and then joining the army to be a medic and nurse, and developing military Post Traumatic Stress Disorder.

I also talk about losing my son to suicide and the therapy I have had at Royal Cornhill Hospital and grief support groups in Aberdeen.

The author, Damien Lewis, said of Lynne:

"A powerful account of what one dog means to one man on his road to recovery. Both heart-warming and life-affirming. Bravo Chris and Lynne. Bravo Bravehound."
