Top curler award

-

The Avondale Heather Curling Club recognised one of their longest serving members at the annual prizegivin­g dinner.

Willie Frame received a Royal Caledonian Curling Club (RCCC) medal to recognise 50 years of curling and membership.

He started curling in his early 20s with Hamilton and Thornyhill Curling Club and progressed quickly through the ranks, demonstrat­ing his real understand­ing of tactics.

Willie played at Scottish, European and World championsh­ips as well as in all the ice rink and club competitio­ns and was part of the first Scottish team to win the European championsh­ips.

Some years later, he joined Avondale Heather Curling Club and to this day thoroughly enjoys the competitiv­e as well as the social side of curling.

He moved into coaching some younger members, including some skips who now play and are winning regularly in the Heather.

Willie’s entire immediate and extended family curl.
