BAGMA's annual curling event took place on Wednesday this week at The Peak in Stirling, with an excellent turnout of dealers and industry representatives.

An enthusiastic mixture of experienced and novice curlers took to the ice following on from a well attended BAGMA members meeting which took place at Stirling Albion Football Club, which also forms part of the Sports Village in Stirling.

Following two hours of good humoured and competitive play, which also crucially saw no accidents, the curlers gathered in the bar afterwards to reflect on an enjoyable afternoon.

Dealer Fraser Robb, of Fraser C Robb, said a few words, explaining that this was his and BAGMA's 31st year of holding the curling in Stirling event. "And I have every intention to be here next year for the 32nd," said Fraser.

Fraser went on to thank BAGMA's Alasdair Straker for working so hard to organise the event, filling four sheets of ice with curlers.

A brief presentation ceremony followed with first the runner's up team, skipped by Kevin Russell of dealership Russell Gas & Mower Centre, stepping up to collect their prize.

The winning team, skipped by Fraser Robb and comprising Marc Nolan and Sally Cameron of Catalyst Computer Systems plus Service Dealer editor, Steve Gibbs, then accepted their prizes which were sponsored by Safety Aide.
