Newly renovated club. Please note that the main entrance is the far left. The ramp on the right is an emergency exit.

Some finishing touches to the outside of the rink with the rusted roof all painted and the accessible ramps completed…

Here is the poster for the Duckie Race and Chicken BBQ happening on Sunday Aug. 5th from 1-4pm.

At the June 25 executive meeting it was moved and approved that Club members would have first bids via a silent auction for one or more of the the six green-top round tables, four counter-stools or one glass-front cabinet — all now surplus since the Club has purchased six new light-weight completely folding round tables and has no need for the green tables, bar stools nor the cabinet; all be sold to the highest bidder(s).

Four tables are 39 inches in diameter and the other 2 tables are 47 inches in diameter. The home-made cabinet is 41 inches high, with 4 shelves at 11 inches  x 11 inches. I forgot to measure the stools; they being the ones that used to be next to the bar and have been replaced by nice looking bar chairs.

I will be receiving bids until July 23 (our next executive meeting date) and then what is not sold via Club membership will be decided upon by the executive. If you want to inspect any of the attached items contact Maurice, me or any other executive member since we all have keys to the Club. I am away  this Friday, the 6th, until July 13 therefore Maurice or another executive member will be your inspection person during that period. Bids may be sent to me for inclusion within the July 23 agenda.

Enjoy the heat. Curling season is only four months away. 🙂

August 5 is the big day for our major fund-raising: Chicken BBQ, duckie race and stick pick with all funds going towards the yearly expenses of operating our curling rink ($31,000 plus).

Stick pick: All members are encouraged to donate at least two suitable items (valued each at $5.00 or higher) so they can be used as prizes for the stick picks. Executive members will be the contact for specific members thus those executive members will be available to receive your donated prizes and will likely be contacting you so we have all items gathered by July 27th so they can be numbered for the draws. Over the next couple of days I’ll send an email regarding what members are assigned to what executive.

Duckie Race Tickets: The duckie tickets are sorted and will be distributed to members this week. Please sell the ones that you receive so we can have a profitable return since we will be giving away three race prizes: 1st, $500; 2nd, $200 and 3rd, $100.

Chicken BBQ: August 5 at $15.00 per dinner with all being welcome to partake. Phil  O’Regan will be taking advance chicken orders (902.863.8922 cell).

Any questions? Contact one of the executive as per our email’s CC.

Thanks
