Weekend in Scotland

You’re all invited to our annual away weekend, which this year will be held March 25-26th at Greenacres Ice Rink near Glasgow. For those who haven’t been to Greenacres before, the ice is excellent, it’s just a few minutes from Glasgow airport and there are two very nice hotels nearby. All the details you need are here in this word document. We have space for only 8 teams so please get your entries in!

In the lead….

Curling before Christmas

We’ve just got 2 more Tuesday night curling sessions left before Christmas, the 13th and the 20th. Both of them will be fun nights so come along for a good way to unwind among friends from the holiday rush. On the 20th we’ve even been promised mince pies from Steve! Jane Clark is organising both nights and you can reach her by emailing jane dot l dot clark at btopenworld dot com

Petra tops Umbrella League

Petra Groot is at the top of the Umbrella League, which ranks players based on how they’ve done in non-Straus games. The ranking is based on points, shots won, then shots lost and then how many shots up or down you are. Ian MacDonald and Friedel Grant are second and third.

Europeans are nearly here…

The European Curling Championships are nearly here and we’re very proud to have a few players from our club participating. Stephen Hinds and Mark Wilkinson will be playing for England with skip, Bruce Bowyer, and teammate Ricky Hills. Andrew Grant will be the fifth player.

The women’s team is made up of skip Joan Reed, Lorna Rettig at third, Claire Grimwood at second and Kirsty Balfour at lead. Caroline Reed is going as a fifth player.

You can keep up with our English teams here. We will be posting the scores as they happen.
