The results are in for the Edgar Sceles Memorial bonspiel. The winner was Team Brymer with skip Blair Brymer, mate David O’Connor, second Paul Connolly, and lead Karen Hall. Second place was Team Luddington with skip George Luddington, mate Holly Nahrebecky, second Phil O’Regan, and lead Leona Purcell. Our 50_50 draw was also held this weekend with Everett Guthro winning the pot of $350.00. Teammates Carly Avery and Teagan Lombardo helped in drawing the winning ticket. Thank you for all who participated. We ended up with 8 teams this year. Thanks to all who helped out with bar, ice, kitchen duties etc plus all who brought food.

Drawing the ticket was Carly Avery with Teagan Lombardo holding the bucket.

Congratulations to Everett Guthro, Manchester, for being the January 16 winner of the Chedabucto Curling Club Community Activity Society’s (CAS) 50/50 draw.  Everett bought his winning ticket — worth $350.00 — from his wife Muriel, a member of CAS.  (Thank you to all who bought 50/50 tickets — and to those involved in their selling.)

If you wish to purchase or to 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. (The businesses’ sold-tickets are collected on Saturdays.)
CAS usually draws its winning 50/50 ticket on Saturdays but — with the intention to have richer prizes — will occasionally be doing the selection after a couple or several weeks of selling. Our rink’s website has updates on draws and the names of our 50/50 winners. http://www.chedabuctocc.ca/5050-draw

Good evening Members and Supporters:

We will all agree that the Chedabucto curling rink began as a location for recreational curling and socialization. To honour those who enabled us to have such a great facility we are hosting the Edgar Sceles Memorial bonspiel next weekend, January 15 & 16.  The decision has been made to have 6-end games. Edgar Sceles was one of the founders of our rink and contributed a great deal to its existence. To honour Edgar his family donates sterling silver pins to each of the first-place team’s members and a trophy is available for that team’s name to be engraved and then proudly displayed within Chedabucto’s trophy case. As the organizers move into high gear to prepare the bonspiel for your recreational curling enjoyment we need curlers to sign up and/or put together teams for the 6-ends long matches.  There is a sign-up sheet on the rink’s ice 1 door for you to enter your name(s).  If you prefer contact Phil O’Regan or email back to me and I’ll be pleased to pass on your name. We need names as early as possible into this week. Historically Thursday seems to be the day for curlers to decide but earlier makes things much easier to organize.   Things that must be done: preparing the ice, cleaning the rink’s washrooms, kitchen and lounge, recruiting workers, buying food, cooking munchies, stocking the bar, planning the draws, gathering prizes, fetching the pins and having 50/50 tickets ready for the January 16 draw. All are welcome to participate in our recreational matches. The only requirement is to have players who are seeking a fun time with good people.
