Photographs

To Howwood Curling Club
As a photography student at Edinburgh College of Art, I have been asked by the National Museums of Scotland to participate in doing a series of photographs for their archives. The remit is to document the activities of a sports club showing the sport in action, the equipment used, and the social aspects. It is anticipated that the archive will remain locked for some 50 years and then form a historic look back at life in 2010.

I shall be most grateful if you will consider allowing me to attend Wednesday evening's curling match and take photographs.

Regards Caroline Alexander

The first stone	Sweeping the stone all the way into the house..	Get ready to sweep

Club President George Wills. How is it for line.	Stuart Ferguson asking for clockwise handle.	That white stone is still there.

George, Martin and Eddie. Looking for inspiration.	View down sheets E and F. Through the back as they are referred to.

What do you think this shot will be.	Eddie and Karen sweeping like mad.	Another end finished.

Whoops Karen. Line is still good.	Stuart view of what happened.	Andrew Wilson asking for anticlockwise handle.

George having delivered a stone. He could be praying.	Andrew preparing to deliver.	A good game and well played.

Eddie is tall and Elaine is short. Not camera angle.	Who said this game was for fun. Not Rodger.	After a good game some drinks in the lounge.
