Braehead’s second annual Curling Camp was run during the October school holidays and attracted total of 13 youngsters aged between 11 and 14 years. The children were from as far apart as Hamilton and Greenock, and also included two who were trying curling for the very first time.
Local coaches Meta Eccleston, Robbie Stewart and Liz Paul assisted the CDO David Horne to provide a fun filled three days. They also had time to focus on certain aspects of each young curler’s delivery having their slide filmed using equipment supplied by the Braehead Development Group. The curlers were then able to watch their efforts on the TV screen in the warmth of the Braehead Bar.
Loads of fun games were played on the ice during the Camp and several full length games. The improvement over the three days by all the children was quite dramatic. At the end of the last day the members of the winning team of the three day curling competition received certificates but every child who came along received fun gifts.
The parents were full of praise for the venture and thanked the volunteer coaches and David for a well organised and extremely fun filled yet educations three days.
