Curling-wurling

Bernard sweeps the ice with a broom in front of Arnold’s stone

Back to the ice rink today for one of our favourite events today – curling!

Two teams of vaarks line up on the curling rink — Ready at the rink

The first stone is pushed off by Arnold, with Bernard sweeping. Nice try, just a tiny overshoot.

Arnold is ready with his curling stone which is a Tunnocks Teacake
