On special assignment at the Glynhill: The Lucy Curling Calendar 2010

The opportunity to do a special 'blogfeature' doesn't come along very often, but the fans of Liudmila Privivkova asked me to undertake a project for them. You see, the members of the Lucy Fan Club (worldwide headquarters, Troon, Scotland) are mostly male, of a certain age, and just not interested in seeing disgusting photos of Warwick Smith, Ewan MacDonald and other assorted male Scottish curlers butt naked in 'Ice and a Slice' (Although it is for a good cause, so have you got your copy yet, see here? And available at the RCCC Ladies' Branch stall at the Braehead rink today.)

What about a Lucy calendar, I was asked? Skip Cottage likes a challenge, so here it is. Enjoy.

JANUARY
"I wonder what time the shops open tomorrow?"

FEBRUARY
"We lost. The Lucy fan club members will be 'devastated'."

MARCH
"Don't look now, but that creepy guy with the camera is at it again!"

APRIL
"I wonder if anyone will bid for me?" (See here)

MAY
"Hurry!"

JUNE
"Oh, this adoration. I can't take it any more!"

JULY
"I bet they didn't know that I could sweep!"

AUGUST
"I can sweep on BOTH sides!"

SEPTEMBER
"Are we going to the Glynhill Ladies International at Braehead again?"

OCTOBER
"My nose is itchy. I'm either going to be angry, or I'm allergic to Scotsmen!"

NOVEMBER
"This is how I like to throw them."

DECEMBER
"I'm sad because this is December. I wonder if they will do another calendar for 2011?"

Thanks Lucy. We hope we have not embarrassed you!

Lucy to be auctioned

Liudmila Privivkova will bring her Olympic team to the Glynhill Ladies' International in January. The team will stay on in Scotland for a few days before flying out to Canada for the Olympic competition. Would you like to meet the team, and curl against them? How much is that worth?

The Russians might appear to some to be somewhat reserved, but that belies quite a sense of humour! The team has agreed to play two fun four-end matches against local curlers, as a fundraiser to assist in organising future versions of the Glynhill!

It really is a once in a lifetime opportunity! Could you, or your club, put out a team? A silent auction will decide the lucky two clubs or teams. Starting bids of £100 per team will be accepted, but I am sure that this opportunity is worth a lot more than that. Your bid and contact details have to go to Judith Mcfarlane, co-chairman of the Glynhill event, by 12.00pm on Sunday, January 17, 2010.

The auction winners will be announced at the prize giving of the Glynhill Ladies International. The details are here.

The fun games have been scheduled for Friday, January 22, 2010, at 6pm at the Braehead curling rink. Champagne and canapés can be enjoyed afterwards!

So there you are. "Lucy for auction" is not a headline I ever thought I would write!

Lucy's fan club will undoubtedly be there to support the girls. Cheerleaders are being auditioned! The 'official photographer' will be on hand too to record the teams' pictures. Russian language lessons are being booked!

Pics of Liudmila are by Bob. More of the team to come over the next few weeks!
