It was just announced today that Halifax has been officially awarded the 2015 Ford World’s Men Curling Championships. For more details see website at: http://www.curling.ca/blog/2014/01/28/halifax-to-host-2015-ford-world-mens-championship/

Looks like Team Sangster and Team Dobson are playing at 10pm tonight. Team Sangster plays at the Bluenose club and Team Dobson at the Pictou CC. Good luck to both teams.

Last night Team Dobson lost their game while Team Sangster won. Both play at 11am this morning with Team Dobson at the Bluenose club and Team Sangster at the Pictou CC.

Both teams won their morning games today. They are both on the ice right now at the Bluenose club. Team Dobson next game will be at 7pm while Team Sangster is at 11am tomorrow.

Both teams won their 3pm games. Team Dobson is now 2-1 and plays again tonight at 7pm in Westville. Her team needs a win to continue. Team Sangster is 3-0 and off to the A Division semi’s at 11am tomorrow in Pictou at the New Caledonia club. Team Dobson lost a close game last night against a Men’s team from Truro. Her team is now out.

This just in Team Sangster has just won the Ship Hector Bonspiel by going 5-0 and winning the final game in the A Division. Congrats go out to both teams who competed against some tough competition.

Team Dobson before the 1st game….

On January 13, 2014, the Municipality of the District of Guysborough’s Committee of the Whole approved the Club’s request to have the Chedabucto Curling Club Community Activity Society’s (CAS’s) grant from the MODG (initially approved in 2011) extended from April 2014 to March 31, 2016. The before-referenced grant — for a total of

$119,700.00 — is slightly less than 1/3 of the cost for the replacement of the Club’s lounge.

CAS is very appreciative of the MODG’s belief in the need and the importance of the Club’s existence and its expansion goal. The MODG’s ongoing support for CAS’s facilities and all that it provides to our communities is an extremely critical plank in the overall success of CAS acquiring the other necessary sources of funding from the Government of Nova Scotia , the Government of Canada, supportive businesses, generous donors and via CAS’s numerous fund-raising endeavours.

Our combined challenge remains to acquire the overall funding to complete the Club’s expansion challenge as the Chedabucto Curling Club Community Activity Society moves onward into its 51st year — and beyond.

Best regards to all,

Ray
