Firstly, I would like to thank all of our members who attended and participated in the first ever virtual AGM of the Royal Caledonian Curling Club. Over 400 members 'zoomed' in to hear the latest updates and it was refreshing and interesting to answer questions and hear a few familiar voices as our members voiced the questions of our community. You can read a round up of the main discussion points and outcomes of the AGM on page 4, as well as a statement released after the initial meeting with our newly elected directors of the Board, Keith Prentice and Janine Wilson. Along with new RCCC President Andrew Kerr and Vice-President Susan Kesley, the board are progressing with the areas of change deemed necessary to more effectively communicate with and involve our membership in the governance of our sport. We are continually assessing the situation surrounding the global pandemic and the implications that the current restrictions may have on curling when it comes time for a new season. We have a dedicated page on our website for these kinds of updates, and this is where you can find our Return To Curling Guidelines, which we are reviewing at every step of the Scottish Government's phased route map out of lockdown.

  • Celebrity Ice Dancers Bring Showbiz Spark to North East Festival
    A media item for Billingham International Folklore Festival of World Dance 2019: CELEBRITY ICE DANCERS BRING SHOWBIZ SPARKLE TO NORTH EAST FESTIVAL Three of Europe’s hottest ice dancers plan to light up this year’s Billingham International Folklore Festival of World Dance (BIFF 2019) when it opens its doors in August. The three dancers who stunned TV audiences with their flare, flamboyance and mesmerising skills on ITV’s Dancing on Ice have a combined following of 178k followers on Instagram and 40.6k followers on Twitter. They promise to bring glitz and glamour to the Tees Valley cultural showcase. The famous skaters are MARK HANRETTY (who partnered with presenter Donna Air, Loose Women's Nadia Sawalha and fitness diva Rosemary Conley), VANESSA BAUER (former Dancing on Ice champion, who partnered with X Factor star Jake Quickenden and Wes Nelson of Love Island) and Russia’s NINA ULANOV (another former Dancing on Ice champion, who partnered with Emmerdale’s Matthew Wolfenden and Corrie’s Steven Arnold aka butcher Ashley Peacock). This summer they will be bringing their unique style of extravagant ice dancing to the centre piece performance of the 55th Billingham International Folklore Festival of World Dance. The showcase event is “The Creative Spirit of John Curry” – a special tribute to the sensational Olympic, World and European figure skating champion. Who took the world by storm in the 1970s but whose life was tragically cut short at the young age of 44 from an AIDS related illness. The celebration is choreographed by Mark Hanretty, Balbir Singh Company and Yebin Mok (American figure skater) – who also appears in the showcase.
