Competition
Location
September 13 - 15
Danish International Bonspiel
Taarnby, Denmark
October 15 - 17

October 22 - 26
Canadian Open Bonspiel

US Open Bonspiel

The sole purpose of this is to hopefully encourage other International teams to support these events and hopefully stimulate participation in the World Tour events in Europe and North America. I feel quite strongly that in order for our athletes from Great Britain to improve their skill and game play that we must be prepared to play against the best athletes from around the world as often as possible and not just at the World Wheelchair Curling Championships or Paralympic Games.
