George Davidson celebrated his eighty fifth birthday with a few of his OGCC friends last week(17/11/11) at lunch where Peter Kerr presented him with his Curling Cue so that he could continue curling with us and his Mother Club, Bridge of Weir. In accepting the cue George said that he would now seek some practice ice to get the feel of this new aid, however he turned up at Braehead last night (21/11/11) as a very anxious sub for John Davies and stated that he thought he would not use his cue as he had not had time to practice. He was told in no uncertain terms that he must use it and consequently took to the ice with it in hand. Bill Shepherd was his skip and asked George for a strike for his first three stones which he duly accomplished with finesse and AA, his opponent muttered under his breath "wait until he has to draw". This was requested for his fifth stone and was spot on. He then went on to play a very good game which he obviously enjoyed, so much so that he paid for drinks for all of us to celebrate.
