Stranraer Away Weekend 2018

Twenty club members took part in an Away Weekend to the North West Castle Hotel, Stranraer, from 2-4 November 2018. This weekend had been planned for March but had been postponed after adverse weather conditions made travel impossible.

We enjoyed good, competitive curling over two days. Five rinks played each other on a round robin basis, each game being over four ends.

After a close final Team Stuart (Jim Stuart, Bill Rennie, Ian Shaw, Archie Rintoul) emerged as winners of the Dave Martin Trophy.

A Team Points competition ran alongside the main competition and was won by Team Linton (Bill Linton, Derek Arnott, Mike Caffyn, Jim Anderson).
The social side of the weekend was excellent and we were well looked after by the hotel and rink staff. Our formal dinner on Saturday evening was very enjoyable and well chaired by Vice President Sandy Graham.

The highlight of the dinner was “The Ballad of Stranraer “, composed and delivered by Tom Mitchell, henceforth known as the Boreland Bard.
