President V Vice 2019-20

 

Six months late and  under the new 'THIS is the new normal' regime,

a confused bunch were shepherded onto the ice by the Covid Officer to settle last season's (but not last year's) President v Vice President.

This yielded two very different games.  

Julia (for the President) was involved in a close tussle with Dale which resulted in a 6 - 4 victory for the Vice President.  Meanwhile John G (for the President)  was struggling against last season's (this year's) wooden spoon holder, Mike.  John eventually managed to pick up a three in the final end, to go down by 12 - 3.

Overall, a win to Rosie Clark, The Vice President by a total of 18 - 7.  The President, Pam Clark, was absent from the game and has, so far, declined to return the trophy.

Meantime under cover in the car park and darkened doorways, Graeme presented various winners with their trophies, in a very clandestine way. 

The first photo is John Good posing with the Pairs trophy which was eventually given to his partner Cathy Maclean.  The second is our new Gill Daley Achievement Trophy being received by Justyna Konowrocka, which was awarded to her jointly with Rosie Clark.

Swan Trophy

This season we have entered the Swan Trophy.

I have included the draw, which sees us pitched against Oxenfoord on Thursday 26th Nov at 2.30pm and updated the syllabus accordingly.  Both can be found on the Fixtures Tab.

This is a double rink competition, meaning we require 8 players.  To date, we only have four (Mike, Graeme, John G and Pauline).  If you would like to play please let Mike know asap.

Session Times - and yet more Covid info

 The session times on the syllabus (Fixtures tab) have now been updated to give the CORRECT times based on Murrayfield's allocation of 'stagger times'

PLEASE AMEND YOUR DIARY ACCORDINGLY.

Please note that there is some conflicting information for the new 'sweeper rules'.  We previously stated that the designated sweeper (one only per stone) would sweep between the hog lines only.  New information suggests that they sweep from the delivery hog line all the way to the tee line.  As there is no sweeping allowed behind the tee, the skips (lazy) will take no part in active sweeping.

THIS POINT WILL BE CLARIFIED BEFORE THE FIRST GAME.

Scottish Curling have provided a short video on new arrangements (NB Parts of this may be varied based on individual ice rinks facilities) :-
