Ok, so I know it has been a while but life gets in the way and so does my real job, Which by the way has nothng to do with curling!
So in one long run on article here is what is know!
Big Jim has had his appeal hearing with the WCF to see if he can get his curling back on track after the whole drug. After speaking with him, he thought things when well and now we just await the WCF outcome.
The 40-year-old Bent Primary School teacher – who skippered the Scotland team at the World Wheelchair Curling Championships in 2007 and 2011 – now has fixed her focus on glory at the 2014 Winter Paralympics after she was chosen to carry the torch.
Neilson, who was left in a wheelchair after a tumour was removed from her spine as a toddler, was nominated as a torchbearer for her dedication and enthusiasm for teaching, her sporting success, and fundraising for the Oncology Unity at the Beatson West of Scotland Cancer Centre in Glasgow.
From November 7 to 10, 2012 the RCD will be hosting its 6th annual wheelchair curling tournament; it is doubly exciting this year because we have a new title to the event – Canadian Open International Wheelchair Bonspiel.
This new title exhibits the determination of RCD to make this event nationally and internationally acclaimed. We hope to attract quality competitors worldwide and bring the global stage to Richmond.
Wheelchair curling tournaments have been staged at the Paralympic Games since the Winter Paralympic Games in 2006 in Turin. So far, Canada has been the most successful team in the Paralympics, winning twice of the gold medals.

In 2011, the RCD International Bonspiel saw the keen competition of 8 teams, we hope to have the participation of more teams, with high caliber athletes and increased international presence.
