For curlers, it's the big event oi the year: and the Men’s Championships at Perth , (see Listings) will get STV coverage. In

the Iast1O years curling has come on a lot and now Scotland's 22 ice rinks can boast over 30,011) participants. However, despite recent development, s It can hardly be lied a new discipline and these championships have their origins In the very traditional Grand Match which was usually held outdoors at Loch Leven, Stormont Loch or the Lake 01 Montelth and pre-dates the ice rink. It is a great pity that the Grand Match cannot be guaranteed annually but It obviously has to depend on weather conditions. The last was held in 1979.

Curling is also a ladies’ sport and Isabel Torrance will be a name to look Ior at Hamilton later in the month.
