Curling: Chess on ice at the Ardsley Curling ClubJan 17, 2012 A broom. A stone. A pebbly sheet of ice. A lot of men. What is...hm...something to do with Halloween? An initiation for phi sigma delta cosine? It's CURLING silly! Or more specifically, curling at the Ardsley Curling Club in Westchester County, New York, where I had a chance to learn about this ancient sport during the 73rd Annual McKay-Douglas International Bonspiel. Did you know "bonspiel" means "curling tournament?" Did you know curling is commonly referred to as "chess on ice" because of the strategy and concentration involved? Although it also reminded me of a pool tournament judging by the angle and geometry involved in manipulating the stone. Did you know a curling club is also a great way to meet men? I learn so much from doing my website...My thanks to Vic Huebner, event chairperson of the bonspiel, as well as Bill Peskoff, Eric Blassneck and Don Baird from the Plainfield Curling Club for educating me on the art and complexity of curling. Now I'm ready to watch it during the Olympics as a somewhat knowledgeable fan! See more interesting video stories at www.lifeskate.com 
Bag piper at PCC Stone Curling BonspielAug 16, 2010 Bag piper at the 2009 PCC Stone Curling bonspiel. Named for Peter C. Christopherson, father of a founding member, the PCC Stone, our four-event annual Men’s bonspiel starts tonight, March 5, 2009. Eighteen teams, including teams from Triangle, Ardsley, Philadelphia, Norfolk, Potomac, Nutmeg, and of course Plainfield will compete through Sunday. Curl at the finest club in the state of New Jersey. (Okay, it’s the only club in the state but it would be the finest even if there were others.) Terrific food all weekend long, generous pours from the PCC bartenders and great competition. If you’re not from the Tri-State area, here’sa chance to curl and maybe even take in a bit of New York City between games. It’s our second year offering money for victories. We’re not talking huge dollars and you won’t get a mitt full of Andrew Jacksons for every win but it was popular last year and we’re doing it again. We’re sure you’ll like the dough more than a pin. There’s also a Calcutta so you have a chance to win money even if your team doesn’t earn it on the ice.

Lake of Monteith ~ Ice Skating & Curling 2010May 12, 2011 Lake of Monteith 9th January 2010................... The Lake of Menteith (Scottish Gaelic "Loch Innis MoCholmaig"), is a loch in Scotland, located on the Flanders Moss, the flood plain of the upper reaches of the rivers Forth and Teith, upstream of Stirling. Until the early 1800s, the more usual Scottish name of Loch of Menteith was used. The only settlement of any size on the Lake of Menteith is Port of Menteith. The are a number of small islands in the loch. On the largest, Inchmahome, is Inchmahome Priory, an ancient monastery. The priory served as refuge to Mary Queen of Scots in 1547. She was only four years old at the time and stayed for three weeks after the disastrous Battle of Pinkie Cleugh in September of that year. The Loch is not particularly deep and can freeze over completely in exceptionally cold winters. If the ice becomes thick enough — at least 7 inches (18 cm) — an outdoor curling tournament called The Bonspiel or the Grand Match is held on the loch. The event can attract thousands of curlers despite its rarity. The last Grand Match was held in 1979. The Lake of Menteith is often thought of as the only body of water in Scotland that is referred to as a lake. Actually, there are others, including four small artificial bodies: Pressmennan Lake, the Lake of the Hirsel, Lake Louise (within the grounds of Skibo Castle) and Cally Lake (near Gatehouse of Fleet). There is also a sea bay near Kirkcudbright known as Manxmans Lake. Nearly all other major bodies ...

Frozen Lake of MenteithAug 29, 2010 The Scottish loch named "Lake of Menteith", at Port of Menteith near Aberfoyle, frozen over. It was hoped to have a curling Bonspiel "Grand Match", as this is the first time since 1979 that the ice has been thick enough to safely hold the thousands of people attending. The lake is relatively shallow compared to most Scottish lochs so freezes over quicker. However modern "health and safety" issues meant the match being cancelled. Not a problem in 1979! However over the weekend thousands of people were out on the frozen lake anyway, and curling, skating, ice hockey, skiing, etc, were enjoyed. At the time I took this, heavy snow had temporarily stopped most of the curling, but there were many curlers there enjoying the "roaring game" on the ice. Able to walk out to the island of Inchmahome with it`s ruined 13th century Priory, and the neighbouring small island of Inch Talla with ruins of the 17th century Talla Castle on it. The Lake last froze over in 2001, but not as thickly then. A winter wonderland and a fantastic sight! 9th January 2010.
