Text Box: Allison and Doug Pottinger are to hold a mini-strategy session at Owatonna Curling Club on November 9th, starting at 6:30pm. There is no charge for this event, and we welcome everybody who wants to attend.
This session is aimed primarily at newer curlers, or those curlers who want to make the transition from front-end to Skip or Vice. Allison and Doug will cover such topics as where to place the first stone when you have hammer, and when you don't, what to do when you are 2 up (or 2 down) with the hammer in the seventh end, what to consider when you are planning your next shot, and many other topics. It will be very interactive, with both a classroom and on-ice element.
In case you don't know Allison and Doug, their profiles are below. However, this is your chance to learn from people who have been to the Olympic trials, US National champions, and the World Championships (which Allison won in 2003). Additionally, they are jus great people - you are sure to enjoy them!
Make sure to sign-up for this event, by sending Paul Ellarby and email :
