Drew Duncan Quaich

Jim's winning team

Jim Henry and his team of Ian Ruthven, Bob Cherry and Roy Penny won the Drew Duncan Quaich with a score of plus 11 shots.

Speaking at the meal afterwards, Jim told us that he was particularly proud of his victory, especially since his team had finished last in the Fraser Cup.   A great turnaround with the last indeed coming first.

David Gray, who was Jim's opponent, was fulsome in his praise for the winners, and naturally modest about his own team's gesture of allowing them a 6 at the second last end!

An excellent meal was enjoyed by all to round off a first class night.

New Links

I have added a couple of new links to our Website, both dealing with the history of curling.  The first is a link to the Curling History blog, compiled by David Smith, with occasional help from Bob Cowan.
The articles are not too frequent, but are always extremely interesting.

The other new link is to Lindsay Scotland's Historical Curling Places map on the RCCC site.  This was updated during the last year and gives a fascinating insight to Scotland's Curling Heritage.

If you haven't had a chance to look at the other links yet, Ayr Curling Club will give up to date positions for our Day League teams and other Ayr competitions,  The RCCC site has a huge amount of info, and Skip Cottage Curling has Bob Cowan's thoughts on the game on an almost daily basis.  Next week he will be reporting from the European Championships in Champery, Switzerland.

Any suggestions for links that might be appreciated by members of Gangrels would be welcome.
