ENGLISH CURLING
September
Letter from the new President Once again, the summer is almost over before it seems to have started. The curling calendar has been organised, teams put together and we are ready for another exciting season. Now is the time that every curler should be setting their season's goals. Your particular goal may be to win a championship, to meet new friends or to complete five shots in each game "as the skip asked"! Make sure your goals are realistic. It does not matter whether you aspire to play in a European or World Championship or to purely enjoy the camaraderie of our wonderful spot, we should all set at least one season goal. That way, we will remind ourselves of what we

want to get out of our leisure time on the ice. We will have a sense of purpose and be able to assess, during and at the end of the season, how well we have done. Start this season by setting your season goals and when you feel you are ready, you can then start setting goals for each game. After all, if you don't know where you want to be, how will you know when you have got there? Have a fun and successful, goal achieving season! Stephen Hinds President ECA
