Start of Autumn League

The first games were played in the Autumn League last night. There were good wins for David Gilmour's team and David Wallace's team.  All the results and league position can be seen here or by clicking on the Results page above.

To develop the website further we have set up a new page on etiquette. The first article is an amusing set of New Year Resolutions from Robin Copland, who is a former Scottish Champion and the author of the Behind the Glass curling blog. Worth a look for interesting insight to competitive curling and other things. Any other contributions will be welcome!

Runners Up

There were many good shots played on keen swinging ice, none better than President Ian's raise to the four foot to count shot against 5 stones lying for Alan Caldow's team.

Alan's team of Sandi Wallace, Campbell Kay and Steven Kirby snatched third place just ahead of David Pittam's team of Alan Gorman, Jennifer Peat and Mabel Hildebrand.

After the game, Ian welcomed everyone to the new season and Mara graciously presented the prizes.
