The first thing I am pleased to state is Nova Construction, Antigonish, has agreed to pay for all the juniors’ dinners at our May 5 celebration.

We are getting to the deadline for me to submit the names of members, supporters, parents and guests who will be attending the CCC season-closing dinner and awards celebration.

The St. Francis Ladies Auxiliary have set the numbers to attend at 100 which means that there still is room to reserve your dinner — and also to use the spaces available if you wish to bring guests. (If we are putting in the energy to have this gathering, let’s go for the maximum of attendees.) If you know of others who might like to attend and they do not use a computer, please contact them.

The night will involve — besides the delicious roast beef dinner — recognizing the Chedabucto CC’s winning league teams as well as presenting awards to several of the juniors.

I am required to have the attendee count submitted this week so the ladies can shop for our food. Please get back to me ASAP (by bedtime tomorrow, Thursday) so I can submit the dinners’ count. The cost is

$18.00 per adult and once you order you will be expected to pay since the cost goes to the Ladies Auxiliary.

Best wishes,

Ray

Next Saturday, April 22, we will be having the Chedabucto Curling Club’s AGM.

The meeting’s agenda will also include reports from our rink’s expansion/renovation committees as well as the nomination committee’s recommended slate of officers for the Chedabucto Curling Club’s 2017-2018 year.

The meeting will be at the rink for a Saturday 10:00 AM start. Early into next week you will receive a copy of our AGM’s proposed agenda.

Please share this notice with members that you know do not have email service.

Thank you.

This is your reminder about the Chedabucto Curling Club’s season-closing dinner and awards at the St. Francis Harbour Parish Hall on Friday, May 5, 6:00 PM for a 7:00 PM beef dinner. Please contact me regarding your ticket(s) at $18.00 per dinner for all attendees.

This gathering has a limit of 100 seats and is open to all members and guests: full, social, juniors and their parent(s) plus guests and former members.

If you order a ticket you will be expected to pay for that meal. The dinners tickets ordered are what the rink MUST pay. This is not a fund raiser for the rink; we pay what the St. Francis Harbour Parish Ladies Auxiliary charge us.

Additional details will be coming your way after the Easter weekend.

Easter greetings to all. Have a safe and enjoyable celebration.

Curling, a game originating in Scotland, was informally played in Canada during the 1700’s before Canada became a nation in 1867. Canada’s sport of curling became more organized when a group of Scots involved in the fur trade established the Montreal Curling Club in 1807.

We fast forward 210 years and all of us can to be involved in Canada 150 celebrations whereby we can demonstrate our pride for the many things that make Canada great.
On April 8, the Chedabucto Curling Club (CCC) was pleased to have participated in its Canada 150 celebration by hosting an open house and offering curling instructions at its Boylston facility. In addition to displaying CCC’s historical facts since its 1963 beginning, CCC members offered curling instructions to visitors by giving them the choices of participating in Canada’s 210-year-old recreational sport of curling via the traditional slide-delivery method or the delivery-stick procedure if the participant(s) had issues with knee, back or other physical conditions.
Under the direction of Michael Nicholson, CCC member and Chairman of its Canada 150 Open House Committee, the day was broken into two periods with CCC members and visitors enjoying two hours of curling instructions, socialization and refreshments in each of the day’s sessions.
