Bruce Crawford Chief Executive Officer MISSION ACCOMPLISHED Team Farmer seize golden opportunity and secure Scotland's return to A division The World Junior-B Curling Championships (WJBCC) in Lohja, Finland concluded on Thursday 10 January. The WJBCC is a qualification event open to junior teams from all WCF Member Associations that have not already qualified for the forthcoming World Junior Curling Championships (WJCC). 21 junior women’s teams took part in the event. Scotland were in a group of 7 and secured a place in the playoffs after completing the round robin unbeaten. After winning the quarter final against Germany and then the semi final against Japan, team Scotland, skipped by Beth Farmer, had secured Scotland’s place at the WJCC which are to be held in Liverpool, Nova Scotia in February 2019. They went on to play the Gold Medal game and completed their unbeaten run at these championships with a 5-3 victory over Russia. A fantastic experience and achievement for the team who were supported by; Alison Cunningham (Coach), David Ramsay (Head Coach) and James Cruickshank (Physio). The top three placed teams claimed spots at the WJCC. Scotland will be joined by both silver medallists, Russia and bronze medallists, Japan. The Scottish junior men were not competing in this event as they had already qualified for the WJCC 2019 from their result at the Championships in 2018.

COMPLETE THE FORM HERE BEFORE THE 25TH JANUARY TO BE INCLUDED WHAT'SWHAT'S ON:ON: AROUNDAROUND THETHE RINKSRINKS GLASGOWGLASGOW Q Q uestions – What is so important on the big screen in Braehead’s curling bar that it delays the Virtual curlers going back on the ice for the next round of a national competition? Well it just happens to be the final game of the Men’s European championships with Scotland’s team led by Bruce Mouat taking on Niklas Edin’s Swedish team. In the background Bruce’s brother Colin (One of the Ice technicians at Braehead) is also watching the game. (1st photo) However, when it comes to Niklas’s last stone in the tenth end (2nd Photo), Colin cannot bear to watch and turn’s his head away. He did look back in time to see the final stone coming up short. Well what a cheer went up in the bar and eventually the curlers at Braehead went back onto the ice to finish their own competition. Congratulations to Bruce, Grant. Bobbie, Hammy. Ross and coach Alan from all the curlers, ice technicians and bar staff who were at Braehead that afternoon watching the final few ends of the game. Report and photo’s David Horne | CDO into Braehead STRANRAERSTRANRAER C ongratulations to Maureen Parker who has won the Dumfries and Galloway Council Coaching Awards - Volunteer of the Year Award. Maureen is the immediate past Chairperson of Stranraer CIce Rink Curling Club Coaching and Development Association and has done and continues to do an enormous amount of voluntary work in this regard. The Association organises all coaching opportunities for both adults and children within Stranraer Ice Rink and is entirely run on a voluntary basis. Maureen takes a particularly active role and has worked tirelessly for more than 30 years as the lead coach with the Curling’s Cool Club which provides follow-up coaching for all the 300 + Primary 7 children in the area who have attended the programme. Maureen has tirelessly organised and run the follow-up sessions on Tuesday nights between 4.00pm and 6.00pm for all of this time. Maureen has created a safe, fun and nurturing environment for the development of these children - you just have to look at the numbers attending each year and that they keep coming back for more! Maureen also mentors all other local curling coaches to ensure that they keep up to date and complete their qualifications. She also encourages some of the older youth curlers to get involved helping and mentors them with Duke of Edinburgh Volunteering and Youth Leader initiatives. Maureen maintains her Scottish Curling level 2 qualification by doing continuous personal development including attending refresher courses, child protection etc. Maureen has a natural enthusiasm which is infectious to all who come into contact with her. Without her the Junior Club would not be as popular and successful as it proves to be. Maureen has watched as many of the young curlers who start out at Stranraer Ice Rink come through the structure and continue onto club competitions with some progressing right through to European, World and Olympic representation . this is testament to the foundations that Maureen has set. By Gail Munro DUNDEEDUNDEE D D undee Ice Arena welcomed 10 outdoor instructors this month from Ancrum Outdoor Centre in Dundee who were attending a Scottish Curling Level 1 Coach Course. In a tie up between Ancrum and Dundee Ice Arena the Instructors will be using the facility to add curling to the many activities that they currently offer to children and adults throughout the area.
