From the Competition Convenor Club Championship "Another reminder about the Inter Club Championship at Kelso on 17th and 18th October - we want two teams per club so that we can have a good meaty competition and there may still be spare ice for other fun games. So come on Glendale, Preston, SECC and London - let us make the first ECA Championships of the year a great fun weekend." Mixed Doubles "These will now be held at Murrayfield Ice Rink in Edinburgh from the 23rd to 25th October - alongside the Scottish MD Championships which are being played there at the same time. So we are guaranteed good Mixed Doubles ice - swingy with lots of draw to the centre to make sure that the full tactics of this unique version of the sport come into play. Winners will get to play in World Mixed Doubles in Russia in April. Entries are required by the 20th September and entry forms are available from Phil Barton - pb@starleyhall.co.uk" Seniors "By the time you read this we shall know how many entries we have for the Seniors - if necessary the Championships will be at Fentons on 14th and 15th November" I’Anson Some new entries from ECA members – a brilliant response to date. Still looking at filling final spaces at the North West Castle Hotel, Stranraer, Fri 20th Nov to Sun 22nd Nov 2009 Phil Barton. And news from the RCCC The AGM in June passed the one member one vote rule, achieving the 75% majority by 0.28% - pretty close. So they have followed in the footsteps of the ECA. Good to be one step ahead of the RCCC in something. Having said that is reminder that we were victorious over our northern neighbours in the Four Nations last season. We will be looking for strong teams again to retain the Connie Miler and Ballantyne trophies. More in later issues.
