In the 2nd annual Clive Thomson Quaich, Dunbartonshire Province were again successful in winning the trophy by a close 9 point margin

The event was held on Sunday 29th January 2017. The photo shows Dunbartonshire President Adam Clark  and Gordon Deakin of Glasgow Province with the Quaich.

Please note that the Allan Cup Final has been postponed until Wednesday 15th February at 8.20pm

The finalists are ALMA v CADDER

Apologies for the postponement, but one of the teams had several team members away that weekend.

Insurance Matters

One curler bumps into another curler, and the latter goes down heavily on the ice. The result, a broken hip resulting in a major operation and some long term disability.

A claim is made against the party that caused the fall. 

Fortunately the party is an RCCC member, and therefore benefits from the RCCC Civil Liability (Third Party) insurance cover.

Had the curler not been an RCCC member, they might well have found themselves without the insurance to protect themselves from a sizeable claim.

One of the clear benefits of RCCC Membership!

However, the RCCC Policy does not provide Personal Injury cover.

Would all Secretaries please ensure all the above changes are reflected in their individual club fixture lists.

These changes are or will be reflected on the Fixture List and Draw sheets published on our Website courtesy of the BCDG – www.curlbraehead.co.uk /Provinces/10thDunbartonshire Province - CLICK HERE.  A copy of this newsletter will also be posted in the Blog page.

A copy of our current competition rules is also posted on our website for all to see. Following our discussions at the AGM , would all Secretaries please ensure that the RCCC membership database is fully up to date by 25th of September for their purposes (see RCCC website), and to enable Crawford our Treasurer to have the correct data to make up our club membership and Tour Fund fees due early October.

Finally a reminder that no ice money for Province games should be paid into the Braehead Office or left in the scorecard envelope at Province Notice Board. Skips should collect ice money for the game and pass to their own Club Treasurers/ Secretaries. Crawford Howat will then invoice Club Treasurers for payment.
Thank you.

Looking forward to seeing many of you at the Cuthbert Cup on 21st Sept.
Adam Clark
10th President.
