Why I wanted to be part of the curling tour:
It’s been at the top of my curling to do list for a while. I’ve been lucky enough to play in 3 matches against the Canadian tourists and enjoyed the whole experience. My late father-in-law was on the 2003 tour and came back telling me of his wonderful experience and the friendships he made and I wanted to experience this for myself.
