WELCOME President Morag: Good afternoon honoured guests, sister and brother curlers. It gives me great pleasure to welcome you to the 60th Annual General Meeting of the Ladies Branch of the Royal Caledonian Curling Club. This is the first virtual meeting and thank you all for joining us. You should have received a document, which would normally be on your seat at the meeting and have had time to read over it. This includes details of apologies, obituaries, new & resigned clubs and the Ladies Branch accounts. Should you wish to address the meeting or have a question then please use the Q&A button at the bottom of your screen, which replaces the roving microphone, stating your name and club. If you do wish to chat to another attendee then please use the chat button, again at the bottom of our screen. Should there be any questions that we cannot answer at the time we hope to have time at the end to deal with them. Thank you. I would now like to introduce the virtual top table, I am Morag Wellman; we have Corrie Laurence, Vice President; Lillian Carnegie, Junior Vice President and Kay Gibb who is our Honorary Treasurer. Although I cannot see them, I would like to acknowledge our Past Presidents who I can see from the list of attendees have joined us today and I would like to thank them for their attendance. We also have with us today Graham Lindsay (Board Chairman), Brian McArtney (RCCC President), Andrew Kerr (RCCC Vice President) and Bruce Crawford (CEO). 2.
