Bob Elliot (Serpentine Club) watches the progress of his stone. Elliot reacts as his stone slows. Skip Wes Flannery (Poolburn Club) gives a few instructions to his team mate. Curlers reflect on the watery conditions. Bill Carson (Garibaldi Club) makes waves. West Coast Curling Club members view the match. Stewart McConnell (Alpine Club) delivers a stone. The new indoor rink, visible at rear, was used in the afternoon. Charlie McLeod (Dunedin Curling Club, left) and Wes Flannery (Poolburn Curling Club) are all concentration as the Idaburn Trophy game progresses. The curling stones were almost swamped by thawing ice on the outdoor rink at Naseby.
 

Warm weather meant the outdoor rink in Naseby had a sheet of water covering the ice for the Idaburn Trophy curling match yesterday. Photos by Lynda van Kempen; prints available from otagoimages.co.nz.
