C&B at the Scottish Championships This Week!

Thanks to Andrew Barr, who has alerted me to some exciting news for all C&B members.  There's a fair few of us at the Scottish this week!  Here's Andrew's email to me

The Scottish Curling Championships begin on Monday at the Dewars Centre in Perth and Currie and Balerno CC is very well represented at this year's event.

Susan Kesley, Fran Stretton, Vicky Gumley, Katie Wood and Morna Aitken (team Kesley), Jennifer Marshall (team Wilson), Gavin Barr, (team McNay), Jane Barr (team MacDonald), Kirsty Barr, Laura Barr and Emma Barr (team Davie) are all involved as competitors, while David Aitken (team Jackson) and Andrew Barr (team Davie) are involved as team coaches.

The draw for the event is available on the Scottish Curling website.  The ladies play at 08.00 and 16.00 while the men play at 12.00 and 20.00.

Good luck to all and play well!

Penny for David Aitken's thoughts when team Jackson (whom he is coaching in the Scottish) meet up with team Kesley (whom he coached in last season's Scottish and World Senior Championships).  Could be an interesting car journey home to Longniddry is all I'm saying on the matter!
