Brooms, delivery sticks and cleaning brushes…..

The curling season is off to a good start.  We are fortunate to have obtained new curling brooms, delivery sticks and step-on sliders with assistance from the NS Department of Health and Wellness and from the MODG Recreation Department.

To accommodate the new equipment two more hanger-boards have been installed at the rink as well as two more hand-held brushes for cleaning the brooms’ heads. The four broom-cleaning brushes and an equal number smaller garbage cans are now located next to each of the hacks for your cleaning ease.

Thank you to all for making our rink such an enjoyable place.

Good curling,

Ray

Stick Curling 2015_16 has started….

Last Wednesday, November 25th, Chedabucto CC started offering stick curling games at the rink. Participants are asked to arrive early so teams can be formed. The two-person teams are requested to be set to go for 7:00 PM therefore players are asked to be in attendance at approximately 20 minutes to 7:00 PM to form teams and to schedule the games.  We don’t know the numbers of players at this time thus we will need to finalize the draws on Wednesday when the curlers arrive.

Chedabucto CC is offering these stick-curling curling games for current members, former members and never-been members with the games following the rules of stick curling: 2 members per team, 6 rocks for each team member, 6-end games — and no sweeping. The balance of the rules for stick curling can be found at the following:

http://www.canadianstickcurling.ca/rules.html

For Chedabucto CC members the cost of registration is free. For others who want to participate and are not Chedabucto CC members, their cost will be the same as the “spare dues”: $10.00 for the night — and that fee will be recognized as a credit towards regular membership if that person joins Chedabucto CC in the 2015-2016 curling season.

If you will share this information with others, that will be appreciated. Hopefully, this first-time stick curling will be popular and lead to more of the same. The stick curling info can be found under ‘Schedules’.

Cheers :-)
