CLUB LEAGUE

We are now coming to the final games of our main club league and once again we are going to have an exciting finish. Colin's rink still has to play Bob's rink to decide the wooden spoon while Gordon's Rink plays Mike's rink on 10th February to decide the destination of the league title. Gordon has a 2 point and 2 end advantage so it really will come down to the wire. Our new curlers settled well to the sport and it was pleasing to see some of them participating in the Sunday morning coaching. Like all sport the more you practice the better you will become.

INGLIS CUP

Lynda Kemp's rink are heading the table but she is not yet home and dry. She still has the title in her own hands and would be untouchable if she wins her final game on 7th February. David Warden's rink is the nearest challenger and with games in hand this could yet be crucial. 1 game still requires to be rearranged for the weather cancellation of 1st December and additional ice will be allocated and the game must be played otherwise we will incur an ice fee of £72.

FERGUSON QUAICH

We have now drawn the teams for this March competition and details are given below.

Rink B : Aliostair Inglis: Steve Warden: Sandra Ferguson: Kelly Greig
Rink C : Ron Caithness: Steven Ferguson: Caroline Myles: Hilary Mackie

OTHER IMPORTANT NEWS:

FORTHCOMING CHARITY SHOP PARTICIPATION

As previously indicated we take over the Edzell Charity Shop on 15th March for 2 weeks and your support is required to join the rota of help and very importantly lokking out all your unwanted items. From past experience Bric a Brac and children's toys are the big sellers with good clothes being readily sold. I have already indicated that Colin, Gordon and Ron are already collecting and storing items and it is important that we start our stint with a bang. I know that many of our members are very busy people with hectic schedules but a little of your time at the weekend would be appreciated. We will draw up a schedule of helpers and would appreciate you advising when the best time is for giving a little help. REMEMBER this is a lucrative way to make some funds for the club and importantly keep our subs at a reasonable level and help subsidise other activities of the club.
