Skip Cottage Curling: March 2011

Thursday, March 31, 2011. Rhona Martin did the honours in throwing the official 'opening stone', with local young curlers Fiona Telfer and Naomi Whyte in attendance. And here we all were, with the question, "How much help would Rhona's stone need to get to the tee? Actually, very little. Pretty much right on the poppy, Rhona, well done, although the perfectionists would say that Ruaraidh Whyte must have given her a couple of inches too much ice! Photos © Skip Cottage.

Tuesday, January 31, 2012. The Tulloch Haggis weekend at Greenacres this past weekend attracted an entry of 24 teams, local teams, teams from Ireland, Wales and a very interesting 'English' team, John Brown and three Canadians (now English of course). In two sections every team faced three eight end games to qualify, or not, for the High, Mid and Low roads. The teams enjoyed dinner on Saturday night and of course on Sunday a supper of haggis, neeps and tatties.". Photos courtesy of Hugh Stewart. Jennifer...

Monday, January 31, 2011. Universiade M6: GBR v Sweden. Leslie Ingram-Brown reports from Erzurum:. GBR TAKES A HUGE STRIDE TOWARDS QUALIFYING: KOREA COULD BE THE KEY. Third end Sweden drew for 1 and stole a single in the fourth. In the fifth with GBR lying shot, and every possible angle full of danger in trying for a second shot Glen had no option but to throw the stone away. Five ends gone and a GBR lead of 5-2.

Tuesday, May 31, 2011. Royal Club Starts Tweeting. Twitter has been in the news recently.

Sometimes it is easy to forget that online publishing - in all its forms - is in its infancy. Where will we be going in the future, I wonder? There is little I do which involves any immediacy! And mirrors the activities of the World Curling Federation i...

Monday, February 28, 2011. Grand Masters at Greenacres. Christine Stewart sends this report:. Sixty-four curlers, every one a Grand Master, gathered at Greenacres Curling Club last week for a two day bonspiel. To qualify for this competition all the participants had to have achieved three score years and ten. That gave them a combined minimum age of 4,480 years! And just try to imagine the number of stones these guys have thrown over the years. We have Masters and Grand Masters, what about Legends? The l...

Saturday, October 16, 2010. Team of the Day at Forfar. The Women's Tour event at Forfar Indoor Sports continued today (Saturday). The teams are playing in two sections and, as I write this, all have played two matches. One more to go today. The results can be found on the Royal Club website here. Lorna and Kirsty Balfour chew over the options. Nicola Woodward delivers, with Suzie Law and Kirsty Balfour at the ready. Oh, she does go on.". Suzie Law, and a leg. Where is Champery, anyway?
