Ian Cameron Memorial Flask


On Friday 6th October the inaugural Bonspiel of
The Ian Cameron Memorial Flask
was held at Inverness Ice Centre

This was organised by Kingsmills Curling Club in memory of Ian who passed away last year. There were five Kingsmills rinks and they played against five invited guest rinks.

Margaret Hastie was invited to enter a rink and asked John Barbour, George Sim and Ormond Smith to join her. We had all known and respected Ian and were delighted to take part. The Bonspiel was played over two sections of  four ends. Much to our delight we won both our games, and being the only rink to do so, were the overall winners.
We were delighted that Ian's son Willie Cameron had come along to present the Trophy and the Prizes
