The Betty Kitson
On Wednesday the Ladies Centre held their one day bonspiel, which 12 teams competed in. Teams from Curl Aberdeen and other Rinks played with Liz Paul's team coming out winners.
The day started with Marion Malcolm welcoming all the competitors, with Tea/Coffee and Butteries on offer. They played 4 ends and came off for some lunch of Soup and Sandwiches and did their Tombola, as well as, looking round the stalls that had been arranged by the organising committee for the ladies to browse and shop. They again went back on the Ice for 4 ends and waiting for the players coming off were Tea/Coffee and Scones with Clotted Cream and Jam and they completed a quiz made by the Ladies Centre before going on for their final 4 ends of the day.
