World Seniors Championships

If you're having withdrawal symptoms after three weeks away from the Rink, why not keep up to date with events at the World Seniors.  They start this Saturday in St Paul, Minnesota, USA and three of the Scottish team are from my other club, Reform.  The team is skipped by Ken Horton.

Follow this link for details.

And finally, a link I have taken from Bob Cowan's blog.  This is a genuine advert for a certain disposable razor, but it certainly sheds a completely new light on the game of Curling.

Gangrels AGM

Following the usual good meal at the ice rink, Robert Boyd chaired the 72nd AGM of Gangrels Curling Club.

Robert gave his review of his President's year and highlighted the successful season which the club had enjoyed.

David Hope included his report on the Competition Year and this can be viewed here.
Details of the Prizewinners have been previously reported with accompanying photos.

The following Office Bearers were elected:

John Sharp recommended that the subscriptions continue at the existing level and this was unsurprisingly agreed unanimously.

David Hope and Francis McCrossin were elected as the new skips and after a few matters of AOCB, Charlie Jack found a brief moment to pass on Jim Smith's message that the meeting should now be brought to a swift close with a vote of thanks to Robert and Ronnie Wilson for chairing the evening so well.
