Swiss Tour results
During a most enjoyable afternnon and evening at Stirling Ice Rink on 8 November 2004 West Lothian Province, along with Stirlingshire province, acquitted themselves well by winning both of their Games.

The two teams, skipped by Ian Keron of Oatridge and Jim Arkley of Abercorn, won comfortably over their opponents, setting up a rousing celebration in the bar during and after the meal.

Full results, and hopefully Photographs, will follow.

Game at Stirling must start at 3 pm so local teams should be ready for curling by 2.30 pm.

After a dram, the curlers will be piped on to the ice.

Curlers should know the procedure of walking behind their flag up the centre of the ice and then fanning out to the extremities of the rink and walking down level with the piper.

 

Games are of 8 ends.

Winners are determined by shots up.

Visitors have the hammer in the first end.

Local teams will play stone colours at bottom of board at both rinks i.e. white or yellow.

It is customary that each local curler presents his opposite number with a Club Badge and Province Badge where these exist.

 

All local curlers are expected to participate in the meals.     Price is based on this.

At Stirling the meal will start about 6 pm.

There will be 5 tables of 8 for the 5 games and 2 other tables for extra tourists and officials.

One bottle of red and one of white wine will be on each table. 

Additional drinks will need to be bought by players.

 

In theory, the bus leaves for Forest Hills at 8 pm but this will depend on how the evening goes.

Good news – the RCCC are paying for the Brochure and the badge, which each local curler will receive, is costing only £3.50.

The final cost per curler will be £26 at Stirling

It is hoped that Clubs and Provinces [or Tour Funds] will subsidise curlers.

Area 6 is paying £20 towards each sheet of ice at each rink - £180 in total.
