On Tuesday Feb 2 our Day League teams travelled across the causeway to play some games with the Day league players from the SACC club.  Thanks to all who participated and to their members who had us well supplied with… food & drink. A special shout-out to Debbie Romaine for organizing the event, with the help of our Neil DeCoff, and for making her delicious chili, and to Marg for her yummy hamburger soup. Game results were 4 wins for SACC and 3 for our club and one game ended in a tie. Here are some photos from the day’s games. Most pictures were supplied by SACC member Mary C. Hankey and a few by our member Phil O’Regan.

Here is a poster for an upcoming clinic at the Bluenose CC on Feb. 14th.

As a way to further good relations with other clubs it has come to our attention via George Luddington that we revive the Cecil Boyd trophy games with the Canso CC. He saw the trophy in their trophy case and asked about it. Our club last won it in 1993 I believe. Canso has already asked their membership about it and they seem to be able to get 4 teams to participate on the Mar. 19th weekend. The way it would work is we get 4 teams made up of either night league members or day league members. It could be the team you are playing on or we just make up teams. And we could also have 4 teams go there on the 19th and a new set of 4 teams play here on the 20th or vice versa. Does not matter as long as we can generate 4 teams. We would work this much the same way as we do with our games with SACC and the Highlander as per providing food and drink. A sign-up sheet will go up soon. The sooner we know who can play the better so I can then let Canso know.

Our featured sponsors of the week for Feb 1-5 are Ed’s Plumbing & Heating Ltd., GOALS, and Micro Machining Ltd.

Our annual Cash spiel will be happening this year on Feb 26-28. In the past we have had people enter teams and in most cases they were competitive teams. We have been talking about having members sign up this year as individuals with a position noted. On the Thursday the 25th the said positions like skip, mate, second and lead will be put in separate hats and teams will be picked that way. We want to make this a fair and fun cash spiel for members and maybe sponsor teams. If out of club teams want in then they will have to do the same. In saying that we may not get any out of club teams. That’s ok with us. As long as we can get at least 32 names on the sheet we will be happy. The sign-up sheet and posters will be going up next week. We really need names on the sheet well in advance of the spiel so as to know numbers for food etc… I’ll attach the poster.
