  • 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.

  • Wheelchair Delivery Strategy Sweeping Basic
    learn to curl Spirit Delivery Sweeping Strategy wheelchair Stick BaSic ruleS Dare to curl Curling in the United States has experienced great growth in the past decade, thanks in great part to TV coverage during the Olympic Winter Games. Membership in the U.S. Curling Association has increased from just over 10,000 in 2002 to nearly 16,000 in 2012. USA Curling currently boasts 165 member clubs in 40 states. Many of these new curling clubs are termed “arena” clubs, meaning that the clubs are housed at facilities were multiple sports are offered as opposed to a dedicated curling rink. Having existing curling arena owners embrace curling has been another significant factor in the growth of curling in the U.S. as it brought the sport to many warmer climates in southern states where curling never was played before, including South Carolina, Georgia, Florida, Texas, and Arizona, just to name a few. Some Fun Facts about Curling: • It is generally agreed that curling was developed in Scotland in the 16th century on frozen marshes • Curling was first an Olympic medal sport in 1924, but did not obtain full medal status again until 1998 • Curling is played in 48 countries worldwide. Canada leads the way with around 1 million active curlers • The modern curling stone is round, made of granite, and weighs about 42 pounds • The first known U.S. curling clubs were located in New York City, Detroit, Milwaukee, and Portage, Wis. • Sweeping can help a stone slide up to an additional 15 feet • On average, an athlete can walk up to 2 miles in an 8-end game Brochure production is made possible through grants from the World Curling Federation and The Chicago Community Trust.
