A Provisional fixture list has been added on the 'Fixture List' Tab
Rinks will be selected and added when known.

Season 2012/13

Yes, Season 2012-13 starts here.
You should already have received your forms asking you to let us know your playing intentions for next season (Willie says that his intention is to play better!).
Please return these forms or contact Graeme by FRIDAY 15th JUNE as our Ice has already been booked.
The new season will see the removal of the dreaded 'Friday before Christmas' ice and will also see the Pairs Competition shifting slot, by request at the AGM to a Sunday in January.
The Season will start off with a Come & Try Session on Sunday 16th September. Anyone interested or that knows of anyone that might want to try our sport, please get in touch with Shelagh or Graeme. All the other usual competitions will also be returning for another outing.
We also welcome Colin Baird to the rank of Skip for the Rennie Trophy.
The Season is sure to be a busy one, especially with Dave, Morgan and Graeme all going absent to Canada for the whole of January (players and reserves, stand by!)
We have also added some links to other websites in the right hand column. These links are currently to the Strathcona Cup Tour website which is under construction, The East Lothian Province Website and to the RCCC Website.

Canada Tour 2013 - update

Dave Munro and Morgan Nicoll will now be joined by Graeme Maguire on the Strathcona Cup tour to Canada.  John Good remains on the reserve list and we all wish him well
As the tour covers the whole of January the club is going to need all the reserves it can get for this period which is traditionally a very busy time for club games.

Late for Dinner

The Wingate Winners

There was another very successful dinner & prizegiving held at the Open Arms Hotel in Dirleton.  The speaker, Mr Archie Baird, as well as telling tales of his own son kept us amused with an entertaining speech, prior to his wife handing out the winners prizes and wooden spoons to Willie & Graeme.
It was particularly nice to be joined by ALL the clubs sponsors.

Talking of Colin Baird, is that him I see in both the winning Wingate and Rennie rinks ?

Rennie Winners 2012

In another tight competition, well at the top and at the bottom anyway, congratulations to James Logan, who having served his time in the Rennie will be promoted back to the Wingate Rosebowl league next season.
James and his team of Colin Baird, Willie Thomson and Colin Hood, sat out the final round knowing that they could be beaten by either Kath or Simon, if either had a decisive win over the other, as was nearly the case.  In the end, both James and Simon finished with 6 wins from their 8 games and James emerged the victor having won 32 ends to Simon's 30 over the entire season.
The other game was very much for the wooden spoon between Graeme and Shelagh, with Shelagh emerging the winner, leaving them both on the same points but Shelagh surviving demotion by the margin of ONE end over the whole season.

Wingate Rosebowl Winners 2012

Dave pull himself together

Congratulations to Dave and his team of Shelagh, Colin and Frank, who in a very tense final round of games finally wrested the championship lead (and title) from Andy McDiarmid's team who have led the competition from the first game until the final stone of the last game. The final stone just stayed out leaving Dave with Championship Stone by no more than one inch.
The final round was a tense affair all round.  In fact with the final end to play in both games and Dave and Andy at peels Morgan was leading the title chase, but that end turned everything round, with Willie taking a 4 from Morgan leaving them equal on points for last place.  Morgan survives in the Wingate, thanks to having won more ends
throughout the season, while Willie departs for the Rennie.
