On behalf of all at Chedabucto CC my thank you goes to Scott Hart for constructing and donating the overhang/roof cover for our newly installed heat pump. Scott gave heat pump’s exterior apparatus some protection from the weather (rain/snow/ice) by building it an overhang protection.

The Club’s interior sign advertisements are vital sources of revenue for our curling rink. On behalf of Chedabucto CC, Vice President Phil is in the process of acquiring two new sign advertisement renters and their signs will be located on a score board and to cover the 7UP signs — the 7UP signs were there rent free.

Brian MacDonald has installed vinyl strips above and below the 7UP stickers so we can insert the two new renters’ advertisements there when their signs are constructed and the rentals finalized. Brian M. also has fixed the door knob onto ice 2 so now it works when rotated both ways and not appear to be locked if its turn goes in the opposite direction.

We all “occasionally” glance at the score boards and tend to look at them once or twice during games.  Those two prominent and very visual locations will be generating $200.00 each per year for our rink. (If you know of others who would like to rent sign locations — please let our sign advertisement signs’ person-in-charge, Phil — or me know so one of us can make contact.)

On behalf of all at Chedabucto CC, thank you Brian and Phil for your ongoing acts of volunteerism that help to enable the curling rink to be a successful organization and a place of recreational activities with lots of laughter. 🙂

Thanks Scott, Brian, and Phil

On Jan. 25th 3 teams from the Highlander club came to our club to compete in the 1st half of the trophy series. Highlander is the defending champs. Seven games were played that day with the final results being Chedabucto CC with 79 pts and the Highlander CC with 67pts. The series resumes on Feb. 15th at the Highlander club. Six teams from our club will go over and play 2 games each. Here are some photos from the Jan. 25th day.

At today’s juniors coaching session Heather Demarco assisted by selecting two names from a container containing the juniors’ names of those who had sold books of 50/50 tickets. Since a name had been included for each book sold and the juniors  all had sold more than a single book, each had their name included numerous times.

My sincere thank you goes to AA Munro Insurance for purchasing the Big G pizza certificates that are awarded to the juniors for selling 50/50 tickets. The two lucky juniors who were selected in today’s random draws were Aidan Halloran and Vanessa Dort. I thank all juniors (their parents & family members) for selling 50/50 tickets and also those who purchased tickets. (The next 50/50 draw for the money prize will be on Saturday, February 11.)

Best regards,
Ray

The Chedabucto CC will be having its next 50/50 draw a week from this Saturday on February 11 at the end of the MacLeod Lorway Ladies Valentine FUNspiel. Tickets are available via the curling rink, our curlers  and the juniors.

If you want to buy tickets in advance for several draws, as my brother in Truro does, give your money to me and I’ll enter your tickets as you instruct.

All support will be sincerely appreciated.

Best regards,

Ray
