Our Memorial Closing Bonspiel has come to an end with 12 teams competing for the Memorial Closing Bonspiel trophy and donation prize money. This year we had two teams from the Canso Curling Club. After three round robin games Team O’Connor came out on top with a 2-1 record and 127 points. In 2nd place with 111 points and a 2-1 record was Team Neufeld, and in 3rd place was Team Gunn with a 2-1 record and 105 points. The club received generous donations from sponsors Sceles Realty, GFL Guysborough, Crazy Daisy, Baile- Mor Salonspa, Grampy Hart’s General Store, Salty Shores Candle Co., Massage Oasis, and Seawind Landing. MLA Greg Morrow is also a proud supporter. 

As we do in most of our bonspiels, we have a team ‘draw to the button’ after the 1st game which helps to determine a winner if 2 or more teams are tied in points. The closest to the button prize went to Cathy Wyatt who was right on the pin.  The team prize went to Team Gunn.

Thanks as always goes out to Byron who helped organize this bonspiel. To our bar staff led by Donna, our kitchen staff led by Nancy and our ice prep team led by Phil. Without our volunteers these bonspiels would not happen. At dinner time we honored long time members Gerry and Evelyne Jamieson who will be leaving our club and moving on to a new home near Masstown, NS. Both Gerry and Evelyne helped organize and run our Day League. They will surely be missed. That’s a wrap on another successful season at the Chedabucto Curling Club.
