Due to this amazing cold weather (for some), The Royal Caledonian Curling Club may have the rare and great opportunity to hold the Bonspiel or Grand Match of Curling on the Lake of Menteith. It is set to be the venue and the Curling Club meet next week to make a decision on the event.
This Lake is ideal for this event as it is fairly shallow and needs approximately over 7" to be safe.
Looking at the weather forecast the cold spell is set in for the near future.
We would love to have a local perspective on this event and the history behind it, its just a shame we can not make it up there if it goes ahead.
Please send in any photos you have of this Lake.
Good luck with the weather!, however it may be on our side this year.

Now the Winter Olympics is over and with all the positive media coverage Curling has had again, it may boast the sports popularity in area's where fresh blood is needed. It was sad to find out when I was stopping in Pitlochery this Winter that their rink had to close a couple of years ago, partly due to lack of income.
Hopefully things will pick up once again.
