I am pleased to inform you that Joe Jamieson has agreed to be one of our Club’s Junior League coaches. Joe and Shawna Cody will be working with the youngsters to pass on their skills and enjoyment of the sport.

This week, and for the next three, in the Guysborough Journal there will be Junior Curling information within the “Community Calendar” section as well as notices going to homes this week via the school.

Thank you to the MODG Recreation Department for their assistance to distribute the Club’s notices. The school is also acknowledged for distributing the notices in addition to agreeing to include the curling registration date for January 6 within its Monday Flash (also January 6).

Please spread the good news about the Junior Curling; if you know of anyone who might enjoy joining the league give them your encouragement. Should a family need financial assistance to join there is assistance available via the MODG Recreation Department (Christina Connolly).

More Junior Curling information can be found on the club’s website:  www.chedabuctocc.ca .

Cheers 🙂
Ray

With feedback from parents and the MODG Recreation Department, the Club is going to attempt again to get the Junior League curling started immediately after New Year’s.  Junior curlers can be ages 10 – 20 thus the league is not restricted to only the younger players.

I met with Angie Traverse, MODG Director of Recreation, yesterday and am going back to the school on Friday. The plan at this time is to send notices home with students and to also have a Juniors’ registration night at the Chedabucto Curling Club on Monday, January 6, from 7:00 PM until 8:30 PM..

Shawna Cody has agreed to be one of the coaches but she  will need assistance. It is vital that we have coaches to pitch in to assist; the Club’s Executive members already are doing a great deal thus it would be overdoing their kindness to expect more of their time.

The Juniors day is planned at this time to be on Thursdays after school with the first day being January 9, 2014. The thought for that specific day was because the adults are curling  day league Thursdays thus the ice will have been scrapped and pebbled / nipped in advance for the Juniors.

There will be financial assistance towards registration with more details to come later.

All of these good intentions are pending on the number of Juniors who sign up to play and on the availability of coaches to assist.

Please spread the before-mentioned information.  More details will be coming before January 6.

If you have any questions or comments please contact me ASAP. (533.2528 or email reply)

Best regards,
Ray Bates, President

Please excuse me for being a pest but the 2013/2014 registration sheets must be completed. If you have completed your sheet this plea doesn’t apply to you.

The sheets for 2012/2013 are invalid because they were for a past year and they have been removed from the emergency information binder thus the Club does  not know your relevant instructions and information. I am confident that with the Club’s liabilities we need current information and dated signatures to make things valid and accurate.

The registration information serves many purposes in addition to giving the Club a level of legal protection:

Your medical info in case the  unthinkable happens.

Your updated contact info so we can keep you informed re what is happening Your birth date for Club demographics to assist with grant requests Your opportunity to volunteer for committee work or not Your dated signature to give the Club permission to publish your picture for news coverage if the opportunity presents itself.  The privacy act requires your consent.

The 2013/2014  registration sheets are in the manilla envelope pinned to the wall by the door to Ice 1.  Please complete yours immediately and put it into the emergency binder on top of the Club’s kitchen fridge.

Thanks

Ray

Decoste Bottle Exchange, Tracadie, will be located at the Guysborough Legion’s parking lot effective Saturday, December 14. DeCoste’s hours of operation will be on Saturdays from 10:00 AM until 2:00 PM. It is our hope that DeCoste’s collection services to this region will be utilized by many. If however you prefer to take your recyclables to the DeCoste Bottle Exchange depot, it are located at 9550 Tracadie.
Bottle donations to the Chedabucto CC are not required — but will be truly appreciated. The volunteered donations to Chedabucto CC are another means via which the Club raises funds for its many operational expenses. Dues alone will never cover all of Chedabucto CC’s costs.
If people wish to donate the proceeds of their bottle sales to Chedabucto CC please inform Ellsworth DeCoste, or his representative, of
those wishes for your donated amount to be recorded and for that notation to be signed by the donor. When Chedabucto CC gets the donated moneys at months’ ends we receive copies of the donated receipts to enable us to thanks the donors.
