2012 Dinner & Prizegiving

© Priscilla Smail - Vice President and President

Our thanks go to Liz for organising a very enjoyable dinner, with exceptionally fine food, and good company.  It was good to see everyone in a relaxed situation away from the cauldron of competition (eh !).
The night was enjoyed by all and not just the prize winners.
Thanks are also due to Priscilla Smail who took photos of the prize giving which have now been added to our Filckr account which can be found by clicking HERE

Canada Tour 2013 - update

Morgan Nicoll and Dave Munro will now be joined by Graeme Maguire on the Strathcona Cup tour to Canada.  John Good remains on the reserve list and we all wish him well.
The tour takes up most of January so this will be a busy time for the club's reserves.

AGM & President v Vice President Match

Monday 26th March at 5.30 sees the last game of the season for us, followed by a (I am told brief) AGM and supper at the ice rink.  All are welcome to attend the AGM and supper, whether playing in the game or not.
The Presidents players are Michael, Ross,Cathy, John S, Graeme, George, Pam and (obviously) Liz.

I will add the Vice Presidents players when notified.

Still to Come

The main competitions are all decided but there is still the Grand President v The (also Grand) Vice President  followed by the AGM and supper at the ice rink on Monday 26th March 2012 at 5.30.

There is also the Club Dinner on Friday 20th April 2012 at the Old Inn, in Aberlady, before our summer break.

Peter Allan Shield Domination

Well done to Morgan and his team  of Dale, Callander, Sheena Munro and Rosie Clark for dominating this years Peter Allan Shield Competition.  With 5 wins from his 6 games, only slipping up at the very last they ended 4 clear points ahead of Graeme.
At the other end of the championship, it went to the very wire with both John Niven and Mike Wood with two wins, they had also beaten each other once, and both having won 6 ends against each other.  The clincher was, over the two head to head games, John Niven was up ten shots to nine and therefore Mike takes the wooden spoon.

Shots Title Defence Successful

Congratulations to Graeme and his team of George Chisholm, Liz Nicoll and Pam Clark, who last night (in the comfort of their own homes) won the Shots Competition.  It was down to the last match between John Niven and Mike Wood.  Mike was still in with a chance of winning but required a winning margin of 9 shots.  In the event he rolled out the winner by 2 shots and the title remained safe in Graeme's hands for another year.
