On behalf of the Local Organising Committee may I welcome, once again, everyone who will join us for the 2013 EUROPEAN SENIORS INVITATION CURLING CHAMPIONSHIPS. This is the sixth Championship and we are so pleased to see how successful the event has been due in no small part to the support teams have given us over the years.

Good luck and good curling.
