Alison Cloudsley Curling Champion

Lodged by Stuart McMillan (Scottish National Party) Standard Motion 20 supporters

The motion

That the Parliament congratulates Alison Cloudsley, from Gourock, on being part of the four-person team, which won the 2023 Scottish Wheelchair Curling Association British Open and the 2023 Scottish Wheelchair Curling Association Scottish Championship, just weeks apart from each other; understands that Alison, aged 33, lives with spina bifida and was joined in the winning quartet by her fiancé, Dan Cowan, after being invited to play alongside curlers, Gregor Ewan from Elgin and Jim Gault from Lossiemouth; recognises that the team competed against players from all over the UK and as far afield as Sweden, Russia, Norway, Germany and the USA; notes that Alison started curling in 2009 after she was inspired by her good friend, the late Jim Taylor MBE and that she says her love of curling has helped her live a full life with her disability, and wishes her all the best for future competitions.
