Evening – Frew Trophy

Evening Section

The history of the Frew Trophy

The Frew Trophy is arguably one of the club’s most striking trophies, featuring as it does a silver curling stone on a wooden plinth. 

 Patricia Erskine who played in the ladies section at the time, donated the trophy to the club in 1982 in memory of her late father Bill Frew who was a prominent and respected curler with Uplawmoor. 

 It is one of the Evening League trophies, and is played under a format intended to give aspiring skips the chance to play in the head and call the shots. In the Frew competition the skip plays at lead and all the other members of the team move up, with the normal third player skipping the team. 

 The trophy is now engraved with around 140 winners’ names, and reads like a who’s who of Uplawmoor Curling Club over the last 35 years. 

 Patricia said: “I am delighted the trophy is still well received. I remember we had an awful job finding something that would make it stand out, and it’s good to know is still popular and keenly contested each year.”

 Patricia’s son Fraser who curls at Greenacres with Reform, was until fairly recently the only member of the family still playing the roaring but Fraser’s nephew, (brother Campbell’s son) has now joined the curling ranks.
