Quiz time !

In the inaugural Edinburgh (Murrayfield?) Curling Club pub quiz, the team of Sheena Munro, Graeme Maguire, Craig Munro (yes, there is another Munro!) and Gill Daley came a majestic SECOND.

Who knew that there was so much talent in this club !
Quiz question, when was this photo taken ?
If you know the answer, and what's good for you, keep it to yourself.

EL Bonspiel CHAMPIONS

Belated CONGRATULATIONS to Sandy and his team of John Good, Karen Munro and Dale Callander who, in front of Murrayfields' new 'pink' wall were presented with the winners silverware for the East Lothian Bonspiel.  This is the first time that Sandy has skipped a team to this title which in the past has been won by his father and grandfather.
I understand that Dave Munro, as a representative of the sponsor and as EL Province President was handing out the prizes and not just about to swoop on his daughters bottle of whisky.

Thirds - Postscript

Congratulations to Dale and his team of Raymond/Pauline, Pam and John Good who, as predicted in the last posting triumphed in the Thirds Competition with a clean 100% win record.

Thirds Results

With one game left to play, our results league is complete showing Dale Callander as our champion for the third time in four years.  Although Dale still has a game to play he wins the trophy as a result of having beaten Morgan in their 'head to head'.  Similarly at the other end of the table George, last years champion, cannot be overtaken for third place and thus escapes the wooden spoon.

Well done to Team Callander consisting of Raymond Preston, Pam Clark and John Good.

Please note that this victory could be stripped as the match secretary has not received score cards pertaining to ANY of Dale's games !!!!

Christmas Bonspiel

Photos can be found on our FlickR site - HERE  - or follow the link top right for more club photos.

From careful examination of the photos, it looks like everyone had a fun afternoon on the ice.  Even Graeme's 'Rules' only seem to have caused the minimum of confusion.
The fancy dress prize was destined for Lindsey (appearing as Jessie from Toy Story) until I heard that it was a 'hired' costume and no matter how good it was I feel that the prize should go to 'Oor Pres' Sheena (as Eyore).  I really do wish that I had seen her try to sweep a stone in that outfit.
The dress and the 'Rules' must have really confused the other curlers !

The Bonspiel was won, subject to receipt of the score cards by Sandy's Team (insert names here!).

After the game most players headed upstairs for a Christmas Dinner and a few more laughs.

Maybe next year the Convenor will be able to make it !!!

The Trophy Conclusion

On 23 November Sandy, playing with Dale and Rosie against John G, Morgan, Dave Wyllie and Sheena won the Club Trophy.

 

The teams were even on three shots each after the sixth end. Sandy's last stone, a takeout, stopped in full view. John's response drew more than planned, taking the target stone out but rolling out itself.

Result: Sandy with 6 shots and John with 3.
