At today’s executive meeting it was decided that the Memorial Bonspiel will be rescheduled to the weekend of April 20/21 due to the death of Gordon Pyle. Gordon, a true friend and supporter of the Chedabucto Curling Club, passed away yesterday.
The land on which the curling rink is located was donated to the Chedabucto CC by Gordon. We will always be grateful to Gordon for that generosity and the many other things he did for the Chedabucto CC.
To Holly and Ernie and their families I pass on my most sincere condolence for the loss of their Dad.

The concluding instructional session for the Chedabucto Curling Club Juniors Program was held at the curling rink on Friday, April 6. Due to the supportive involvement of parents and volunteers, plus financial assistance from the Municipality of the District of Guysborough (MODG) and AA Munro Insurance, the juniors had an enjoyable and successful season.
As part of the April 6 gathering, the names of the juniors who sold 50/50 tickets on behalf of the Club were entered as many times as the numbers of books each sold into a random draw for the awarding of two Big G’s pizza certificates purchased by AA Munro Insurance. Winning the two large-pizza certificates were Vanessa Dort and Tristan Kieley.
The Chedabucto Curling Club appreciates the volunteer assistance towards the junior program from parents and Club members. The curling club also acknowledges the ongoing financial assistance of the MODG and AA Munro Insurance. In addition, the Juniors’ media coverage via the Guysborough Journal has been a gold-level quality.
As this curling season draws to its conclusion the Chedabucto Curling Club is pleased to announce that it will be endeavouring to start a Little Rocks Curling Program in the 2018-2019 curling season in conjunction with its current junior program. The Little Rocks Junior Program is being designed to welcome children from approximately ages 6 years to 10 years of age into the sport of curling. More details will be forthcoming in the fall of 2018 via the Club’s website: www.chedabuctocc.ca.
With my best regards,
Ray

On behalf of the Club’s general membership, the Club’s executive has submitted Maurice Landry as our member to be recognized for his volunteering to assist all of us as we enjoy our wonderful facility.
Maurice has been extremely active within the Chedabucto Curling Club since he and Maureen moved into our community a couple of years ago.
Maurice has also been front and centre as the chairperson of our Club’s Renovation/Expansion Committee. Maurice’s ordering of construction materials and wise counsel have been a tremendous asset during the project’s planning and actual construction.
On behalf of the Junior Curling Program, Donna Dort, mother of junior curlers Jenna and Vanessa, has been recognized by the executive. Donna has been a continuous fixture at the junior curling sessions over the years that her daughters have been junior curling members. Donna also transports juniors to curling events — and — ensures that her girls have and sell the Club’s 50/50 tickets.
Thank you Maurice and Donna. Your involvement and dedication to the Chedabucto Curling Club is recognized and sincerely appreciated.
On behalf of all, my very best regards,
Ray
