2016 World Wheelchair Curling Championships
#1
These "B" Championships take place in Lohja, Finland from 4 November to 10 November and feature England and Scotland. They appear in Section A and form part of the 16-team competition.  The top team in each Section will progress directly to the semi-finals on 10 November. The second and third teams in each Section will play-off on 9 November for the other two places. The winner and runner-up in the Championships will automatically qualify for the World Championships held on 4 to 11 March 2017 in PyeongChang, South Korea.

In wheelchair curling the basic rules are the same, except that there is no sweeping, meaning that even greater accuracy by the player is required. In their opening games on Friday, England play Israel and Scotland play Slovenia. The Scots team is made up of Sochi 2014 Paralympic Winter Games bronze medallist Aileen Neilson (skip), Gregor Ewan (third), Hugh Nibloe (second), Robert McPherson (lead) and Angie Malone (alternate). At some stage over the next week I might find out who are representing England and even get photos!
