The Chedabucto CC AGM is being held this Tuesday, April 12, 2016, in the rink at 6:30 PM. In order to conduct the meeting’s business we must have a quorum of  7 or more CCC members.

Depending on whether or not there are additional items added to the Club’s April 12th’s AGM’s agenda with the approval of those in attendance, I anticipate a brief meeting.

In addition to seeking approval of the Club’s October 5, 2015, Semi-AGM’s minutes, as attached to this email, the two items on the agenda at this time are the Treasurer’s financial statement and the nomination committee’s recommendations for the 2016 – 2017 Executive members.The nomination committee has a full slate of officers to nominate but I will be asking for nominations from the floor as per procedure. The officers as elected on April 12, as per the Club’s By-laws, will assume the responsibilities of their duties on May 30, 2016.

Best regards,

Ray

Semi-Annual Meeting Minutes October 5, 2015

Agenda AGM April 12 2016

Another great curling season has come to an end with our annual banquet held again this year at the St. Francis Harbour church hall. Upwards of 90 or more people attended this banquet and were treated to a wonderful Roast Beef dinner and desert by the ladies (and men) of St. Francis Harbour Church. Thanks go out to them for all their efforts in creating a beautiful atmosphere for our members and guests to enjoy. Thanks also to all who helped get this organized. Awards were handed out to our Junior members by Sceles Realty and Turning Point Curling, and also to our League champions in Day and Night Leagues. A special award was also handed out to one of our members for her 25 year involvement with the club, Bette Ann Corkum. Thank you to Ray for getting this all together and for the great MC job. Below is a sampling of the pictures taken during the night:

Last night April 5th the Night League and curling season came to a close with two championship finals. On Ice 1 the ‘A’ final featuring the Brymer siblings, Blair and  Shauna, took place. In the end Blair’s team of Don Armstrong, Heather Manual and spare Mary E. A. Connolly (filling in for Karen Hall) took home the A championship game. Congrats to all. In the ‘B’ final Team Hadley squeaked out a close game vs Team O’Connor with Paul Long, filling in for skip Margaret Hadley, hitting an angle raise to the button for the win. Congrats to Margaret and her team of Bernie Curry, Mary K. Connolly, and Patricia Lynn Currie. Also thank you for all who showed up for the games with a standing room only crowd at the glass.

Last Wednesday, March 30, Chedabucto CC had its awarding of pizzas to two of its Junior curlers for their successes with the selling of the rink’s 50/50 tickets. The pizzas were donated to Chedabucto’s Junior League by AA Munro Insurance, Antigonish.  AA Munro Insurance’s much appreciated generosity and assistance definitely served as an incentive to encourage the Juniors to sell the rink’s 50/50 tickets. At Wednesday’s season-concluding Juniors session — as selected by the usual method of random draws based on who sold complete or partial books — the two Juniors to receive Big G’ large pizzas were Ryan Sangster and Vanessa Dort. My thanks goes to the Juniors, their parents, families, and friends who assisted with the selling of the 50/50 tickets — and also to AA Munro Insurance for making our awarding of pizzas possible.

Also at the conclusion of last Wednesday’s curling session there was the usual “hot shoot” draws to the button with chocolate bars as rewards for the closest boy’s and girl’s rock to the pin.  With several bars remaining in the bar, and last Wednesday being the final “hot shot” to the button for this season, we gave four bars to the closest rocks to the pins. The winners of the bars were Ryan Casey (10″), Jonah Worth (13″),  Vanessa Dort (55″) and Jenna Dort (184″). Congratulations to those four curlers.

Last Wednesday was the final day of Chedabucto CC’s Junior curling for this season. On behalf of the Chedabucto CC executive and its members I thank you for enabling your child(ren) to partake in the great sport of curling, May you and your family have an enjoyable spring, summer and fall and join us in the winter of 2016 – 2017 for another winter of curling.

My sincere thanks and best regards to all.
