"Fourteen Gangrels and 2 Spouses (Margaret Morrison and Linda Wilson), the latter who were kindly filling in gaps in available Playing Members, made up 4 Rinks for a day's Christmas cheer social curling at North West Castle on Wed 13 Dec. Our first Club visit in October had set the bar high in terms of quality of ice, ambiance, food, bar service and overall support. Once again, everything was first class and a must be there for the next scheduled visit in Feb 2024.
The competition scoring was based on cumulative shots up with the morning Rinks being swopped for play in the afternoon session. Team Cherry (Cherry, Chapman, Dunlop and Hogg) met Team Galloway (Galloway, Peat, Cattanach and Margaret Morrison) while Team Reynolds (Reynolds, Hope, Gray and Henry) played Team Morrison (Richard Morrison, Steell McFadzean, Ronnie Wilson and Linda Wilson) in the morning session.

At the snack lunch break, served in one of the function suits with us all seated together at a long table, Team Reynolds were 9 shots up with Team Cherry hard on their sliders with +8. With hunger pangs and thirst slated, the Rinks moved back on to the ice with the titans Team Cherry facing Team Reynolds and Team Galloway against Team Morrison. Team Reynolds kept their brushes up and in front with another +3 shot win to win overall. Team Cherry came second with neither Team Galloway nor Team Morrison able to make up the gap in score differentials from the morning tussles.

Vice President Donald presented the prizes and thanked Gail Munro and the hotel staff for a superb day of curling, hospitality and social bonding opportunity."
Many thanks to Peter for the above (and other) reports. The photos above were taken with my old phone. I picked up a new one yesterday and hope it can manage without the light interference.
