Our annual Edgar Sceles Memorial is happening soon on Jan. 25/26th. As of now the games will be 8 end games like last year. It may change to 6 ends if we get more than 8 teams. I will attach the poster and the sign-up sheet for teams for the spiel will be up at the club tomorrow. Please do your best to not have, for instance, 2 skips on a team or 2 mates on a team. Makes it unfair to other teams. A list for donations of food will soon be posted. Entertainment on Friday night the 25th will be provided by member Neil DeCoff. Please pass the word around for this spiel and for people to come on out on the Friday night to hear the music. Please note that anybody can enter this spiel. Prize donations are also needed. We, the bonspiel committee, will be approaching our sign sponsors for donations of prizes plus we will be purchasing a token few to make the prize table more attractive.

The 50/50 tickets are now available at the Chedabucto Curling Club.  We still have the concluding stage of the renovation to complete: The ice shed’s siding and its insulation are planned to be done this year therefore those funds need to be found.

As I have persuaded my brother, Robert, in Bible Hill, he gives me some money and I buy tickets in his name. (Robert won the February 3, 2018, draw.) If you wish to have me enter your name (tickets) into the draws, let me know and I’ll submit tickets as per your instructions.

All assistance to sell/buy will be appreciated.

Best regards,

Ray

WOW — The last-Thursday registration for the Chedabucto Curling Club Junior Curling Program was better than we had anticipated. We were a tad later in this season than we preferred to have had our Junior Curling Program registration but it was worth it.

For the first time EVER at the CCC, there is now a Little Rockers (ages 6 – 9 years) branch of the Juniors Program with a registered enrollment of 16 youngsters. Charla Cosgrove is the Little Rockers head coach with assistance from Gary Neufeld for the Mondays, 3:30 PM – 4:30 PM, sessions.

The registration in the regular Juniors (ages 10 years and older) was 10 youngsters with several more still out there as possible Junior members. Paul Long is the Juniors Head Coach, with assistance to both levels from Chedabucto CC members. The Juniors will have their coaching sessions on Wednesdays, 3:00 PM – 4:30 PM.

There is also our Junior Girls Team with coach Alicia Mills; a group of curlers for whom we are very proud. They will be training on Tuesdays, after school.

All together we have — thus far — 26 members in the Junior Curling Program plus the competitive girls team; a very impressive reality for our rural Nova Scotia curling club.

My sincere thanks to ALL for enabling the Chedabucto Curling Club Junior Curling Program to reach such success.

Best wishes and Good Curling.
