Summer Barbeque & Latvia Trip



I hope everyone is enjoying the "summer" curling free.

Ron has asked me to post the following member announcement. Please consdier and get back to Ron as soon as possible in order that numbers can be catered for.

SUMMER BARBEQUE

As discussed at the AGM we have made arrangements to hold a summer get together and a BBQ has been arranged for Sunday 9th August 2009 at the former US Navy base (courtesy of the Carnegie family) This is not a fund raising event but we naturally want to cover our costs and we have set the ticket price at £7.50 each to cover all the food costs….we promise that you will not go hungry with our barbeque selection followed by locally grown strawberries and cream.

We have decided that beverages should be your own responsibility. We trust that you will be able to attend and you are more than welcome to bring along a few friends and hopefully potential members to the club.

I would appreciate you reverting to me no later than 10th July confirming your attendance and number of guests to allow us to organise the catering.

VISIT TO LATVIA

For those members who attended the AGM you will be aware that we discussed the possibility of a short break abroad for some winter curling similar to our centenary visit to the Czech Republic and we have been in communication with the President of the Rega CC in Latvia. They are very keen to host our visit and we have provisionally booked to attend over the weekend 29th October through to 2nd November 2009.

Flying directly from Prestwick will ensure us excellent fare prices but we will naturally have to book fairly soon.

We have estimated that the costs inclusive of hotel accommodation will approximate £250 per person and we are looking for your confirmation of interest as a matter of urgency. Hopefully we can manage to achieve 4 rinks and we have been promised a bonspiel with the local curlers to round off our trip.

Please let me know over the next 10 days if you want to come as the earlier we book flights, the cheaper they will be.
