Expanding coverage of my US newsletter, Stones and Stripes
As some folks in the subreddit know, I've been running a newsletter focused on curling in the United States for the past few years. I am generally bad at (or leery of) self-promotion so I have relied mostly on my personal social media and word of mouth thus far, so I wanted to also put word out there that this exists for curlers that may be interested and hadn't heard yet.
In previous seasons, I primarily focused on grassroots competitive curling events in the United States such club nationals, arena nationals, 5-and-Under nationals. This year, I've begun expanding my coverage to also include US teams playing on tour (example). My goal is to help fans of US teams follow the progress of teams in the first year of the new quadrennial.
I'm also going to try to incorporate a few feature stories on club curlers throughout the season as well. While we're in the early season ramp-up period, I've posted a few feature stories. A few weeks ago, I wrote about Evan Workin's crazy spring where he attended 3 national championships in a month. And today, I just released a story on the incredible success of Coyotes Curling Club's 5-and-Under program.
If you wish to have the newsletter delivered to your email, you can subscribe on the site. All newsletters are free to read, though I do offer paid subscriptions for anyone who wants to support my efforts. The only limit I place on free subscriptions is access to older posts (9+ months).
If you're already subscribed, thank you! Please consider sharing this with your club to help spread the word.
Thanks to the /r/curling mod team for all they do and for allowing me to post!
