Where are the frosts
Table from the ODT today showing evidence of a warm July. Lets hope August closer to norm
If you cannot read, July average temp is 6.2 degC. The actual for this July is 2.9 degC above this. Helps explain why outdoor curling clubs arr having a lean time

Friday Report
We still have ice. Sufficient for one person to walk on. But not for a group to curl on. We are hopeful that we still have some winter to come. Will update post when conditions improve for ice. In interim you need to find other other pursuits. 3 members doing just that.

Play Abandoned
To use cricket terminology. Play has been abandoned due to weather. No not bad light but inclement ice.
Curling last night bur very marginal. Currently water over half of the ice. Need jack frost to bat for a innings before play recommences. In the interim any of us might get a call up from the Aussi's to help out in the Ashes. Couldn't do any worse!!!
