Belgium
and Serbia-Montenegro new members of the World Curling Federation by Håkan Sundström, WCF Media Relations Officer Two new nations were adopted new members of the World Curling Federation, WCF, when the General Assembly of the WCF today took place at Hotel Holiday Inn, Glasgow airport in Scotland. Belgium got membership for the second time. Belgium was a member until the year 2000 when their previous curling association ceased curling activities. However, curling is now being played in Belgium again and a new Belgium Curling Association has been founded. Serbia-Montenegro was adopted as the 46th member nation of the WCF. Mexico, which has been a member since 1991 was excluded because of not paying their subscriptions for a long period of years. 2005-03-23 News from the ECF Semiannual General Meeting in Paisley 22nd March 2005: http://www.ecf-web.org/news.html
Spirit of Curling "Curling is a game of skill and traditions. A shot well executed is a delight to see and so, too, it is a fine thing to observe the time-honored traditions of curling being applied in the true spirit of the game. Curlers play to win but never to humble their opponents. A true curler would prefer to lose rather than win unfairly. A good curler never attempts to distract an opponent or otherwise prevent him/her from playing his/her best. No curler ever deliberately breaks a rule of the game or any of its traditions. But, if he/she should do so inadvertently and be aware of it, he/she is the first to divulge the breach. While the main objective of the game is to determine the relative skills of the players, the spirit of the game demands good sportsmanship, kindly feeling and honorable conduct. This spirit should influence both the interpretation and application of the rules of the game and also the conduct of all participants on and off the ice."
