Don't forget (as I did when I was rushing to get packed to come to Riga) that this is also the weekend of the
Grasshopper Women's Masters in Zurich, a Curling Champions Tour event. Scotland's interest is in Claire Milne's new team for this season - Lynn Cameron, Kim Brewster and Rachael Simms. Twelve teams play in two sections. The results will be found on the event website and on the
CCT website.
