This weekend Mar. 4th and 5th we will be playing games vs the Canco CC for the right to hold up the Cecil Boyd Trophy. Our club is the defending champs from last year. Here is a schedule of the games:

Our featured sponsors of the week for Feb. 27-Mar. 3 are Make Yer Own Wine & Beer (Antigonish), Days Gone By Bakery, and A1 Gutter. These are all new to our club as of this past week.

Last evening was the drawing of the curling rink’s 50/50 prize winner. Even though we will be having our next 50/50 cash draw on April 1 — the next drawing for  pizzas to the juniors for their selling of 50/50 tickets will be on this coming Saturday, March 4, at the beginning of that day’s coaching session.

My sincere thank you goes to AA Munro Insurance, Antigonish, for sponsoring the awarding of pizzas to the juniors for their selling of the rink’s 50/50 tickets. (For each book sold, that particular junior will have his/her name entered into the drawing for the two pizzas.)

More 50/50 tickets are available at the rink or via me. (902.533.2528)

Best regards,

Ray

PS: We are planning an adult/juniors funspiel for March 25 with two adults and two juniors per team. The day will consist of two four-end games and AA Munro Insurance pizza treats for all curlers. As details are finalized you will be receiving more information.

Congratulations to Karen MacKinnon, Mulgrave, for being the February 25 winner of the Chedabucto Curling Club Community Activity Society’s (CAS) 50/50 draw.  Karen bought her winning ticket — worth $142.00 — from her niece, junior curler Victoria Grady. (Thank you to all who bought our 50/50 tickets — and to those involved in their selling.

My thank you also goes to AA Munro Insurance, Antigonish, for sponsoring the pizza incentives to the junior curlers for their efforts to sell 50/50 tickets on behalf of the Chedabucto CC.
The  date for the next 50/50 draw will be April 1 at the Chedabucto CC’s tentative Exxon/Mobil Cashspiel (Skins) to make it probably the largest prize of this curling season.

If you wish to purchase or sell tickets: contact a club member, purchase them from a junior curler or come to the curling rink. All efforts to sell the Chedabucto CC’s 50/50 tickets are sincerely appreciated.

Our rink’s website has updates on draws and the names of our 50/50 winners. http://www.chedabuctocc.ca/50_50-draw-2016_17
