Black Bottle Club Bonspiel

Black Bottle Club Bonspiel

This weekend is the start of our Club Bonspiels sponsored by Black Bottle and sees Rotary, Granite City Ladies, Turriff, Rubislaw, AWW, Haddo House, Petroleum, Meldrum & Daviot, Aberdeen Ladies and Donald's all competing. 

This competition sees 3 games played over the day in a Schenkel format, with the day being broken up with refreshment intervals of Butteries on arrival, Soup & Sandwiches at Lunch and Try Bakes before the final round of games, all accompanied by Tea & Coffee. 

We have decided that you won't know who you play in the first round until 5 mins before going on the Ice, when your skips will pick balls out a bag saying which sheet your team will be allocated (we do this at the City Open and it's fun way of making the draw). 

There will be a camera floating about taking pictures of the event, so can't say I haven't given you warning!
