Thirds on a Knife Edge

And so with the Christmas break looming, the last of the Thirds Competition has been played for this year.  It is now balanced with only a bottom of the table clash scheduled for 11th January and the top of the table clash on 18th January left to determine the final positions.
Dont forget that before then on Monday 19th December at 7.30, we still have our Individual Points Competition (see post below). This is open to ALL club members, rink players and reserves and even anyone from the non-playing members list !

Points Competition

Our annual POINTS COMPETITION is on :-
Monday 19th December at 7.30. 
and is open to ALL Members and Reserves.

For those unfamiliar with a Points Competition, it is a solo competition, so no fear of letting anyone (other than Yourself) down !
It consists of a series of exercises (Take outs, draws, tap ups etc) with 4 attempts at each type of shot.
 
Most importantly it is a FUN competition which allows you to practice shots that you may not have had the chance to play before. You will also play about twice as many stones as you would in a normal club match.
 
The benefits:-

• Its Fun
• Its good practice.
• (If you ask the skips they will try and give you pointers and help)
• It is for ALL standards, from beginners to experts.
• It allows you to measure your progress (against yourself or others)
• It show your skips how good you are !
• It allows you to witness gamesmanship between the skips.

Come along and try it out.

Morgan wins a (the) Trophy

In a tight aggressive game that would decide the destination of the Club Trophy, Morgan's foursome edged Graeme's team 6 shots to 4. Almost as tight was the decision whether an eighth end should be played or not.  Had Morgans final stone come to a rest or was it still spinning ? (the jury is still out !).
Congratulations to Morgan, Dale, Sheena and Rosie.
