  • 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.
