Forth Valley Ladies Margaret Mauchline 1. Welcome President Claire welcomed everyone to the meeting and asked Councillor Bob Ellis to open the Annual General Meeting of the Ladies’ Branch. 2 Councillor Bob Ellis: Honorary President Anne Smith, Honorary Vice-President Kate Caithness, President Claire McLaren, Ladies and Gentlemen welcome to Perth Racecourse, where many exciting horse races have taken place and also the many other events, which have graced this lovely area just outside the City of Perth. I feel very privileged indeed to being the first representative after last week’s local elections to welcome you all here today. I must pay tribute though to the hard work of past Provost, John Hulbert and the many others who worked hard and as a result of that hard work, were successful in getting City Status. We relish the many opportunities that now lie ahead of us. I note that The Royal Caledonian Curling Club was founded way back in 1838 and the Club has gone from strength to strength each and every year. This year is the Ladies Section’s 52nd AGM and I would like to congratulate you all on this and of course many thanks for choosing Perth, which has a very strong affiliation within the curling fraternity throughout the world. But how does a club like yours and the many other clubs and organisations succeed? It is down to dedication, enthusiasm and sheer hard work by volunteers and there have obviously been many of those throughout the years of your existence. Looking at your remit, this to me says it all – encouragement, friendship and communication at all levels. Long may your remit continue. Looking back a few years, I was one of thousands who watched Rhona Martin and her team win gold in Salt Lake City. More recently, in fact in March of this year, Eve Muirhead was declared the winner of my Sports Council’s Sports Person of the Year. Also, can I mention Aileen Neilson, the accomplished wheelchair curler, who this year won a sportsmanship, which was presented by Shona Robison, Minister for Commonwealth Games and Sport. There are many, many more very well known curlers amongst you here today as I learned from your President, Claire McLaren last night and I think that we would be here long into the evening if I mentioned them all. We have a long tradition here in Perth in the curling world and I am sure that many if not all of you have slid, if that is the correct term, down the rink at Dewars Centre. I myself have managed one game many years ago and I think it safe to say that I wouldn’t get picked by any team, whether it be a grassroots team or that of a higher level. Just watching it on the telly from my over-stuffed armchair, you don’t have to be an expert to realise just how much skill there is to make sure that your stone stops exactly where you want it to stop. I think that you do see that curling is a very friendly sport just as it states in your remit. It has always been lodged in my head that it is the taking part that counts and not the winning but isn’t it great folks when at the end of a National or International tournament when “Flower of Scotland” gets sang by the many supporters at rink-side and you see the many Saltires getting waved. Although I am looking forward to the Olympic Torch (and I am the lead Councillor responsible for it here in Perth and Kinross) passing through our area and of course the Olympics themselves, I am really looking forward to 2014 and the Commonwealth Games and hopefully being one of the many volunteers. And also we have the prestigious Ryder Cup coming to Gleneagles here in Perthshire also in 2014. We are a proud nation and very much a sporting nation as well, so I will finish by saying many congratulations on all of your past successes and on behalf of the Council and the City of Perth, I wish you all the very best in the weeks, months and years to come. Now, I know you are all looking forward to your AGM and I also am looking forward very much to hearing the various reports especially after reading the reports of last years AGM and of course who gets what positions, although I suspect that the wheeling and dealing has already taken place if it is anything like the clubs and organisations that I sit on. President Claire McLaren, may I now hand the proceedings back into your hands (applause). President Claire: Thank you Bill. The Council will generously provide teas and coffees for afternoon tea after the AGM. 3 President Pat, Past President’s, Honoured Guests, Sister Curlers, I am delighted to welcome you all to the 52nd Annual General Meeting of the Ladies’ Branch of the Royal Caledonian Curling Club, here at Perth Racecourse. In your booklet, you will find a list of apologies, obituaries, new and resigned clubs, an International Relations Report and the Ladies’ Branch accounts. I would like to begin with some introductions.

  • Olympic Curling Success
    EAST AYRSHIRE COUNCIL COUNCIL MEETING – 7TH MARCH 2002 OLYMPIC CURLING SUCCESS Report by Chief Executive 1. PURPOSE OF REPORT 1.1 To consider and recognise the achievement of the British Women’s Curling Team who recently won Olympic Gold Medals at the Winter Olympics in Salt Lake City. 2. BACKGROUND 2.1 Curling is a traditional sport in Scotland whose origins can be traced back to the 16th century although 90% of the world’s players are Canadian at the present time. It is estimated that there are currently 20,000 active curlers in Scotland and locally there are a number of curling clubs. The national body for curling is the Royal Caledonian Curling Club. 2.2 The only remaining factory producing curling stones in the world is in Mauchline, the forty two pounds stones being carved from granite from Ailsa Craig. The majority of stones produced in Mauchline are now exported. 2.3 Despite the long history of the sport, curling only became a full medal sport at the last winter games in Nagano. This led to a considerable increase in development of the sport and as Members will be aware, a Curling Development Officer was appointed within the Community Services Department in 2000. This post is jointly funded and managed with the two other Ayrshire authorities, the Royal Caledonian Curling Club and the Bank of Scotland. 3. OLYMPIC SUCCESS AND LOCAL CURLING DEVELOPMENT 3.1 The Ayrshire Curling Development Officer has developed close working relations with the Educational and Social Services Department. The National Curling is Cool initiative was piloted with East Ayrshire Primary Schools and has now been fully implemented.
