28th February to 2nd March
The SWCA are holding their British Open from Monday 28th February to Tuesday 2nd March at the Peak, Stirling. The competition will be the second national wheelchair curling competition to be held in Scotland this season, with the SWCA Scottish Wheelchair Curling Championships to follow at the Ice Bowl, Dumfries from 20th to 22nd March.
We are very much looking forward to seeing many of our members take to the ice and compete again in what promises to be a great competition and a prelude to the Winter Paralympics in Beijing which start on Saturday 5th March. Everyone wishes the 5 Scots who make up Team GB good curling at the Paralympics; we will be cheering you all the way.
8 teams will play a round robin format starting Monday morning with 3 games scheduled for Monday and 2 games on both Tuesday and Wednesday. It’s sure to be a great few days of wheelchair curling with players from all over the country entered including defending champions Ian Donaldson and former Paralympic medalist Jim Gault.
All are welcome, why not come along and watch some great curling?
