$1.00 volunteered for rocks not reaching far hog line….

As a fun thing, and being done on a volunteer basis, the $1.00 self-imposed penalty for the shooter not getting the rock across the far end hog line has thus far earned $15.00 for the rink’s general revenue.  (Thank you to the member who suggested and to the executive for approving the idea of such a fun penalty.)

In addition to the extra coins for the rink, we have already had many smiles (and extra encouragements) because of rocks not making it or them needing to be swept really hard to get them across the far hog line.

For a public acknowledgement, the Bates household has already put $3.00 into the hog dish. 🙂

Cheers,

Ray

 

Reminder of the Edgar Sceles Memorial next weekend…

To all members

       As of Thursday morning we had only three members signed up for the Edgar Sceles Memorial bonspiel. These bonspiels are part of the club’s fundraising efforts so the more the better. I know it is the same every year that members wait until the final week to decide but for us who are trying to organize the event it is hard to know what food to buy, who to call-on for volunteering etc… if we do not know the amount of teams entered. Last year we had 6 teams entered. We need at least 6 to make a go of it otherwise it is not worth it.

Junior Curler Hot Shots are….

Each Wednesday at the Juniors’ curling we have the boys and girls do a draw to the button for a chocolate bar.

Yesterday the two hot shots were Jonah Worth (21 inches from the pin) and Vanessa Dort (38 inches). Each youngster then had their choice of a chocolate bar from the rink’s canteen.

Congratulations to Jonah and Vanessa. 🙂

Junior Curling startup for 2016….

Junior curling will start tomorrow, January 6, at its usual time of 3:00 PM until 5:00 PM. Juniors are asked to bring their sold 50/50 tickets for submission and for the pizza-certificate draws.

We will continue to have a snack for the youngsters but they are all encouraged to have a munchie in their pockets for their own energy and nutritional needs.

Best wishes for 2016 to all.
