SCOTTISH WHEELCHAIR CURLING ASSOCIATION Minutes of The SCOTTISH WHEELCHAIR CURLING ASSOCIATION Minutes of the Annual General Meeting held on Thursday 21 March 2013 in Forthbank Performance Sports Centre, Stirling Present: Albert Middler (Chair), Rosemary Lenton (Vice Chair), Joyce White (Treasurer) Anne Gordon (Secretary), Margaret Cathcart, Michael McCreadie, Mo Simpson, Sheila Swan, Tony Zummack, and 40 representatives of member clubs and their guests. 1 WELCOME Chair Albert Middler welcomed every one present to the meeting. He invited all present to observe one minute’s silence to remember Stewart Maxwell, Stranraer WCC and Ken Dickson, Kinross WCC. 2 APOLOGIES Apologies for absence were received from Borders WCC 3 MINUTES OF AGM HELD ON 17 MARCH 2012 Accepted as a correct record. Proposed - David Morgan Seconded - Rosemary Lenton 4 MATTERS ARISING None 5 CHAIRMAN’S REPORT Albert Middler said that he had been interim Chairman for three months. He was honoured to be asked and gladly accepted the nomination. To try to avoid any future misunderstandings, volunteer Role Descriptions have been formulated for all Office Bearers and Club Representative posts. He thanked Rosemary Lenton for chairing meetings throughout the year. Albert recorded congratulations to Kate Caithness, Honorary President of SWCA on being awarded an OBE for services to curling and international disability sport. She has been a driving force behind the development of wheelchair curling, and campaigned vigorously to have the sport included within the Winter Paralympic programme, which was achieved in Turin in 2006. This has been a busy season for curlers at national squad, development programme and club level with full programmes of training and competitions. The National Squad gained 6th place at the World Championship this year and are at present competing in the Scottish Championship along with club curlers. During the year, a new club was formed, Stranraer WCC, with members participating in the Scottish Championship for the first time. The Kinross International Competition was very successful, with seven countries taking part, and the British Open Competition held at South Lanarkshire Ice Rink became an International event with teams from Scotland, England, Wales and Russia. Albert recorded thanks to all the organisers of the various competitions, the sponsors - in particular Star Refrigeration, Tunnocks and The Green Hotel, Kinross - the various ice rinks that have supported SWCA and all the volunteers, coaches and helpers who made the competitions possible. Three committee members were not standing for re-election, the Treasurer, Secretary and Competitions Convenor. Especially missed will be Margaret Cathcart who is leaving the committee having served six years. She has been a dedicated member of SWCA and supporter of wheelchair curling, and has worked tirelessly to ensure the smooth running of the Association and it’s competitions. Albert thanked Margaret and all the committee members for their work during the year. 6 FINANCIAL REPORT Copies of the Accounts were available at the meeting. The balance at 28 February 2013 was £33,749.23. Joyce drew attention to the donations of £7,045.95 mainly due to Rosemary Lenton’s hard work. These are mostly one-off donations and not guaranteed income. The majority of the balance is made up by the amazing fundraising of Judy MacKenzie and her family (£21,000). SWCA were also fortunate to have support from SDS for Squad and Spokes costs. However, SDS will no longer continue with the same level of funding. Joyce said the Committee had a duty to ensure that funds held by SWCA were used in the best possible manner and to continue fundraising efforts to keep the accounts in a healthy state. It was proposed that the annual subscription for member clubs remains at £10 for 2013/14. Thanks were recorded to Jim Taylor for his excellent work in auditing the Accounts. He has been extremely obliging over the past five years. He has advised that he wishes to step down as Auditor. 7 SCOTTISH COMPETITIONS REPORT - MARGARET CATHCART The report was tabled at the meeting. SWCA competitions were organised by Margaret Cathcart along with Rosemary Lenton and Paul Webster. High ice demand is one of the biggest challenges which competitions’ organisers face. Visits to ice rinks were made to finalise dates for competitions, and further visits were always made to make sure that all aspects of running the competition were covered. The Royal Club provided umpires for the National Pairs, Scottish Championship and Friendship Trophy, and Robin Shand and Robin Turner gave of their own time to umpire the British Open. The slow speed of play was mentioned by umpires at all the competitions. Special thanks are due to all the on-ice helpers, volunteers and to the curlers who enter the competitions and play in good sporting fashion.

Preparations for the Paralympic Games in 2014 will start in April with gym and classroom sessions, prior to the summer ice training programme at Stirling. 9 RCC DEVELOPMENT MANAGER, ADULT AND DISABILITY - SHEILA SWAN Copies of the report were tabled at the meeting.

After consultation, comments/recommendations were sent to British Curling by 11 March 2013.

  • Scottish Disability Sport - the First Fifty Years Richard Brickley MBE Foreword
    Scottish Disability Sport - The First Fifty Years Richard Brickley MBE Foreword I was delighted to be asked by Chief Executive Gavin Macleod to record the first fifty years of Scottish Disability Sport, to mark the occasion of the 50th Anniversary of the Association. Initially the project was intended to be small but the more I researched, the more it brought back memories of great athletes, superb volunteers and great times. I became determined to try and do justice to as many as those great people as possible. I am certain I shall have forgotten key people in the eyes of others and if so I apologise profusely. For almost four decades SDS has been for me a way of life. The volunteers I have had the pleasure of working with for almost three decades are those I remember with great fondness, particularly during the early years. I applaud the many athletes who contributed to the rich history and success of SDS over fifty years. Outstanding volunteers like Bob Mitchell, Mary Urquhart, David Thomson, Jean Stone, Chris Cohen and Colin Rains helped to develop and sustain my passion for disability sport. I have been privileged to work with exceptional professionals like Ken Hutchison, Derek Casey, Liz Dendy, Paul Bush, Bob Price, Louise Martin, Sheila Dobie, Fiona Reid, Eddie McConnell, Gavin MacLeod, Mary Alison, Heather Lowden, Lawrie Randak, Tracey McCillen, Archie Cameron and many others whose commitment to inclusive sport has been obvious and long lasting. I thank Jean Stone, Jacqueline Lynn, Heather Lowden, Maureen Brickley and Paul Noble who acted as “readers” during the writing of the history and Norma Buchanan for administrative support at important stages.
