With support from the staff, the Board implements policies and plans that help the organisation and the game move forward. In November 2011, the Royal Club was audited by independent consultants under Sportscotland’s Fit For Purpose initiative. Two days of inspection, investigation, analysis and interviews produced a report giving a clean bill of health with a few minor items to maintain the positive result. Over the last year, the Board has been concentrating on the work identified in the four year Strategic Plan that was launched in 2011. One of the key components has been the communication, providing services and engagement with member curlers. The website was re- launched and provides better navigation and information. Some delays and disruption were experienced by clubs and members, with hindsight, we should have allowed more time before the start of the season and are now confident that the site is working well and the statistics support that fact. We now have 116 Clubs with websites of their own or embedded in our website, compared to 39 with the previous provider. This year also saw the launch of the Your Curler online magazine for our members, which has received good reviews, and we hope to build on its success in future. We have maintained and developed our plans and procedures to hold a Grand Match on outdoor ice.
