Ford World Women's Curling Championship Extra 2

Earlier in the week I told you about young Mark Munro and his appearance with the local junior pipe band in the arena. Well, Mark didn't bring his pipes to Canada for nothing.

Yesterday he took his pipes outside the arena and set up a busking stand with the pipe case open for donations. He played for 20 minutes and in that time made a remarkable £76.

So what did he do with the money? Donated it to the local junior curling club of course!

Well done Mark!

And he plays from the stands to enourage Gail and her team.

Gail wasn't the only member of the Munro family to take to the ice in Vernon. Young Mark Munro had his five minutes of fame before the fourth draw.

Gail had told him he had to take his bagpipes to Canada, he plays with Merchiston School pipe band and has been playing for just a year.

Taking his pipes to Vernon proved a winner, Gail had heard the local junior pipe band was struggling to find people to play before draw four, so offered Mark's services. And he proudly marched down the centre walkway wearing a Munro tartan kilt as the band led the teams into the arena.

A great experience for young Mark.
