First Friendly

For a blog that's called, "Curling Collins" and is supposed to be about our family's curling and fun, we don't seem to talk a lot about curling. The reason for this is we keep having babies, and they seem to get in the way of our curling.


That said, today Rich helped orchestra the Triangle Club's first in-house friendly. The format resembled that of a MACA (for those involved with MACA). For those who are not, it just means that randomly assigned teams played regular games but were forced to shift positions every two ends giving each player an opportunity to try out all the team positions. It can get confusing sometimes, but it is a great learning experience. For those that have not tried it - we highly recommend it!


Today's event was a huge success with the 24 players involved, three of which were brand new to curling (talk about a crazy way to learn about the sport)! Kirsten and the babies were sorry they missed it, but they were busy spending time with Omi and Opi who were in town. Next year!
