I’m headed out of town to do the ice for the pre trials in Prince George. Check out the website and follow the teams, including Jim Cotter. I will be back on November 15th. In the meantime, if you see something that needs to be done, lend a hand. My staff are geared up to do their best, please help them out. If you need assistance phone Heather or Lorraine at the office or leave a message.
We will be starting to sell raffle tickets for a Twin Anchors luxury houseboat cruise. Tickets are $5 each or 3 for $10. Proceeds will go towards the cost of hosting the Men’s Provincial Curling Championships from February 1-7. We are also starting to take names for volunteers for the event. We need officials, 50/50 and door help and hospitality. Also we will need help setting up the ice area and the bleachers.
Saturday nights at the club are generally very quiet evenings. We’ve been trying to figure out a way of getting new members into the club. We are going to have drop-in adult curling on Saturdays starting November 14th at 6:30pm. Cost is $5 per person per session. This is open to members and anyone that wants to try the game. So if you have some friends, bring them down. Half hour of instruction followed by a 6-end game. We provide the brooms & sliders, all they need to do is carry a clean pair of running shoes with them. Carol Martel and Dean Banks are heading up this new adventure, but will require help with instruction. So if you have experience, and are bringing out new people, please offer your assistance to others. Attached is an information sheet. Share it. Print a copy and post it on your work bulletin board, or at the gym. Email it to your friends and family. With any luck we can create some more interest in curling.
See y’all soon. Wish me luck.
