Primary 7 from Portpatrick, Leswalt and Kirkcolm were treated to a fabulous curling experience at the North West Castle today.<\/span><\/div>\n
\n

The children were split into teams of 5 with each member allocated a role as either sweepers, throwers or a skip\u00a0\ud83e\udd4c<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Gail gave a motivating speech, sharing all of the success of our local curlers have had – helping to put Stranraer on the map!\ud83d\udccd<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

After a warm up and a shot on the ice, children were put into teams.\u00a0The winners were judged on the best performance out of eight tries of getting a stone as close to the target as possible.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

There was a break for juice and biscuits kindly provided by the North West Castle. Our thanks to all the coaches and to the NWC for their kind hosting!\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Then it was time for the team games – all of the boys and girls worked well together to play a curling game, but the winners of the day were our very own Jack, Alfie and Danny – who have been wearing their medals with pride\u00a0\ud83e\udd47 – well done boys!\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Again, a big thanks to Gail and all at the NWC! Everyone had a fab afternoon – and you never know, maybe one of our little team will be the next future Stranraer curling\u00a0 Olympians\u00a0\ud83e\udd4c<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
