Hello everyone,
For those that don’t know Glenn Howard, Kerry Burtnyk, Kevin Koe and Mike McEwen are all coming to the Twin Anchors Houseboats Cashspiel and local favourite Bob Ursel with our very own Jim Cotter. Our hometown boy TJ Perepolkin will be playing Glenn Howard 6pm Thursday. On the ladies side we have Denmark, Russia, Switzerland and Japan who will be participating in the Olympics along with Canadians Kelly Scott, Shannon Kleibrink and Cheryl Bernard who will be in the hunt to represent Canada at the Olympics. It should be a fantastic show, we need your support. We depend on our members and friends to come down and cheer on these curlers. The action starts this Thursday at 3pm with three draws (2pm, 6pm & 9pm) continuing through Friday, Saturday with playoffs on Sunday (Finals 3pm). Passes are $35 for all 4 days, day pass $12 available at the door. Check the website for draws and details.
We have a good core of volunteers that are going to help us with the Cashspiel, we need a little help with vehicles and/or drivers. If you have a van, and are available Wednesday, Thursday and/or Sunday to make trips to & from the airport please let us know. We pay for gas and maybe a timmies or two. It’s a great way to chat with these curlers one on one. I could really use your help. Call or email the club if you can help.
Clinics for Intermediate and Beginner curlers start Monday evening. The intermediate clinic runs for 3 nights, 6:30-8:30 Mon, Tue & Wed, including a strategy session with Linda Moore on Wednesday night. Cost is $35 for all three nights. If you just want to join the strategy clinic on Wednesday night, cost is $12. Beginner clinic runs Mon & Tues night at the same time, cost is $25. A great introduction to the game of curling.
Leagues start the week of October 5th, with the exception of SuperLeague which plays their first game September 30th.
Ice is now in, looks great. We have a new look compliments of Canadian Direct Insurance. Come on down and take a look. The best time to practice is Monday or Tuesday until 5pm, or anytime Wednesday. There is no available practice ice from 5pm to 8:30pm Mon or Tuesday (due to clinics) or from Thursday through to Monday. It’s not necessary to book ice. Come as you wish, but be willing to share your sheet with others.
The Ladies Silver Star Bonspiel goes Oct 23-25th. Put a ladies team together for this great season opener.
Looking forward to seeing everyone here soon.
