Our annual Skins Cash Bonspiel was held this weekend. Six teams battled it out over 3 draws. Each game was worth $125. We would like thank our sponsors Scotia Hills Farm Inc., Ron Chisholm Hydroseed, and Antigonish General Trucking & Movers for their cash donation to the club. Also MLA Greg Morrow for his community support of our club for the bonspiel. Thanks also go out to our kitchen committee of Nancy, Paula, Kim, Marion, and Mary who kept us fed on Saturday, our ice prep team of Phil, George, Byron, Fred, Ryan, Collie, and Joe, and our bar staff led by Maurice and Mary. Finally thanks to Breanne, Byron, Donna and Blair for getting the bonspiel set up. Now as for the games every team managed to win money.
