The Cecil Boyd Trophy games between the Canso CC and Chedabucto CC have been restarted with games this past weekend at both clubs. On Saturday Mar. 19th Canso sent three teams to our club for two draws. Lots of close games were played with Chedabucto coming away on the winning side in all four games. Next up was a trip down the road to the Canso CC on Sunday Mar. 20th for three draws and five games. Canso came away with three wins on their home ice and Chedabucto grabbing the other two. A lot of laughs and fun was had by both clubs. In the end the Chedabucto CC came away with the trophy, which was last won by Canso back in 1993. So as you can see it has been a long time coming. Also Team Casey from the Canso club was the top team in pts with 48. This will now be an annual affair with the hope of having more teams involved. A big thank you goes out to Susan-Brian O’Handley from the Canso club who was a big help in getting this revived and for providing a lot of these pictures. And for Phil O’Regan who helped coordinate it on our end. Thanks also for all the volunteers who helped with ice at both places and for providing food and drink for everyone.

Drawing the ticket with Ray was Joanne Horne from Canso.

Congratulations to Blair Pellerin, Larry’s River, for being the March 19 winner of the Chedabucto Curling Club Community Activity Society’s (CAS) 50/50 draw.  Blair bought his winning ticket — worth $225.00 — at Haliburton’s Guysborough Pharmacy. (Thank you to all who bought our 50/50 tickets — and to those involved in their selling.)

The  date for the next 50/50 draw will on April 2 at our Season-Closing Memorial Bonspiel.

If you wish to purchase or sell tickets: contact a club member, purchase them from a Junior curler, come to the curling rink, or buy tickets at Cutting Loose Hair Design & Tanning, Guysborough Pharmacy, Cook’s Gas Bar & Robin’s, Chedabucto Home Hardware, Guysborough Discount & Gifts, or at Days Gone By Bakery & Restaurant. CAS sincerely thanks the before-mentioned businesses for their continued support.

Our rink’s website has updates on draws and the names of our 50/50 winners. http://www.chedabuctocc.ca/50_50-draw-2015_16

We have reserved the St. Francis Harbour Hall for Friday, April 8, open at 6:00 PM for a 7:00 PM dinner, so as to enable us to enjoy another of Chedabucto CC’s popular season-closing dinner celebrations with the hope that many of you, along with your guests if desired, will be able to attend. This is not a rink fund-raiser therefore all moneys from tickets ordered / sold will be going to the St. Francis Harbour’s Ladies Auxiliary for their preparation of an excellent roast beef dinner along with veggies, rolls and a yummy dessert.  The meal’s cost is only $18.00 (total) per adult and $12.00 for youngster’s 12 years old or younger. Sceles Realty has offered to pay the meals’ costs for our rink’s Junior curlers who are able to attend this celebratory gathering. During our evening we will be presenting the Club’s leagues’ awards and Juniors recognition items. When Chedabucto CC orders your dinners — Chedabucto CC must pay for that which was ordered — therefore once you inform me your intention to attend — your ticket’s cost is your commitment. When you communicate with me we can arrange your method of payment. The dinner is three weeks from this Friday but the Ladies Auxiliary want a couple weeks notice regarding our numbers so they can shop for the appropriate amount of food to prepare. That means that you must contact me by March 28 (Easter Monday) with your request for dinner tickets. This is an informal gathering with no head table or guest speakers, just members / friends having an enjoyable time together to celebrate what we all are so very fortunate to have via the Chedabucto Curling Club. Recognition as appropriate will be extended to those in attendance. There will be a buy-your-own bar service for those preferring to have a nip or two — and are of a legal drinking age. 🙂 Please check your calendar regarding your April 8 evening and get back to me ASAP.

Hoping to see many of you in St. Francis Harbour Hall and with my best regards,

Ray (email reply, in person or 902.533.2528)
