Finally, a wee ‘heads-up’ on some upcoming competitions :

2. We will be sending a team to the annual EBA Charity Triples competition to be held at Willowbrae B.C. on Saturday 11 June starting at 9.30am. If you would like to be involved on this day, please let Bernie Callaghan know. This is a good day and a great opportunity to meet players from other Clubs. It is open to both Ladies and Gents.
3. The annual Gents’ Friendly with Carrickknowe B.C. will be held at 2.00pm on Saturday 18 June at home. We are looking for 6 rinks for this match. Please add your name to the list on the Gents’ Notice-board if you are available to play. This is always a very good afternoon.
