Way to go Karen Munro

copyright - Kinross Classic website

October seems to be a great month for Karen.  For the last 2 years her team, skipped by Rebecca Steven, has been the winners of the Dunvegan Trophy.
This year, assisted by Jennifer Paul and Claire Dagen they have gone on to win the Kinross Junior Classic.  Previous winners have included numerous World and Scottish senior and junior champions, so no pressure there Karen.  Congratulations from all in the club.

Wingate Underway

The Wingate Rosebowl competition got under-way last night at Murrayfield.  First blood went to Dave, the current champion and Andy McD.  Both games produced close results with only 2 and 1 shot separating the winners from the losers.
The results are now posted on the Results page and will be updated throughout the season.

Website Problems

I have been having problems with the website recently. It has recently been upgraded and is now not playing nicely with my browser for posting items, results etc.
If anyone is experiencing problems viewing the site, please let me know.

Syllabus Errors - Oops

The Secretary

Apologies to anyone inconvenienced with the wrong start time for last nights match published in the Syllabus.  I don't know how this slipped through, but thanks to Shelagh spotting it just in time for me to text players.
Please also note that the SKINS match  on Monday 29th October is at 5.30 not 7.30 as previously published.

This has now been corrected on the fixtures page of the website and by hand to the copies of the Syllabus on our noticeboard at Murrayfield (Please help yourselves to copies).

Updates

The View from the Hack

Following the sad retirement of Bob Cowan and his excellent skipcottage blog site at the end of last season, Ted Edmunds, has decided to try and step into Bob's very large shoes.  He has started 'The View From the Hack' blog.
This site has some interesting items and contains a lot of links to other curling and curling related sites.  We would like to wish Ted every success, so why not visit the site and have a look round.
The more traffic that sites like this generate, shows the demand for this type of information.

Haddington Sports Hub

We are pleased to be members of the recently launched Haddington Sports Hub and hope that this will help create closer links between our club and the community.  The Hub have now launched their Active East Lothian website and our club page can be found by following this LINK - or the link on this page.

Some of our activities will appear on the Active East Lothian website, but this site will remain our public face.
