Opening Night

Ronnie Wilson's first official task as President was to welcome everyone to a new season and to ask Honorary President Jim Watson to throw the first stone.  Jim's stone, ably marshalled by Robert Boyd, slid unerringly towards the house and the new season was underway.

There were a few oohs and aahs, mainly as unused muscles were reminded of their duties, and some enjoyable games were played.

There were wins for Jim Henry, Jimmy Niblock and Francis McCrossin.  Robert Boyd and Ernest Mutter drew 8-8, but the result of the night surely belonged to Bob Cherry's team. Trailing 7-5 at the last end they somehow conjured up a 6 to win by 4 shots.

All the results are here, or you can find them using the link to the Fraser Cup at the right of the page.

Afterwards, we all enjoyed an excellent meal and some good chat.  The club also took a few moments to remember our dearly departed friends Bill Beaton and David Murphy.

The New Season

Everyone hoping to start the new season on tip top form will be pleased to see that Training Ice has been booked for 20th September at 5.00 pm. All are welcome.

Monday 26th sees the first game of the season at 5.00 followed by a meal at 7.15.  Again, everyone is welcome to the meal.  Any reserves not already playing that night should let Bob know if attending.

The website is up and running again (we never really closed!) and the Club Fixture and Open Competition pages are ready to use.  Please let me know if I've made any major errors.  Results pages will be updated as the games are played.

Many of our members have said they like seeing results of our teams in outside games, so I would encourage all skips to email me with details of progress on a regular basis.

Our Motto is "The game first, the result second"

"Good Curling" and I hope everyone enjoys their season.
