Congratulations to David O’Connor, Boylston , for being the December 4 winner of the Chedabucto Curling Club Community Activity Society’s (CAS) 50/50 draw and thank you to Neil DeCoff for his assistance by drawing the winning ticket from a well-shaken container.  David bought his winning ticket — worth $228.00 — at the curling rink.  (Thank you to all who bought 50/50 tickets — and to those involved in their selling.)

If you wish to purchase or to sell tickets: contact a club member, purchase them from a Junior curler, come to the curling rink, or buy tickets at Cutting Loose Hair Design & Tanning, Guysborough Pharmacy, Cook’s Gas Bar & Robin’s, Chedabucto Home Hardware, Guysborough Discount & Gifts, or at Days Gone By Bakery & Restaurant. CAS sincerely thanks the before-mentioned businesses for their continued support. (The businesses’ sold-tickets are collected on Saturdays.)

CAS draws its winning 50/50 ticket on Saturdays, except for last evening since we had the turkey shoot, but — with the intention to have richer prizes — will occasionally be doing the selection after a couple or several weeks of selling. Our next 50/50 draw is tentatively planned for December 19. You can refer to the curling rink’s website for updates on draws and the names of winners. http://www.chedabuctocc.ca/5050-draw

The rink’s turkey shoot is good to go for tonight at 7:00 PM.  This event is open to all who attend therefore bring along family, friends

— but maybe not the household pet. 🙂

The shoots last approximately 30 – 35 minutes per turkey. If you can’t make it on time for the first shoot, there are always #2 and #3.  We have thirty-two rocks per bird to send towards the turkey target. With three birds to awarded as prizes the night will not be a long one but an enjoyable and relaxing way to socialize and have a laugh or two.

Starting tonight the Chedabucto CC will begin offering Authentic Seacoast’s Rare Bird ale as one of your choices for beverages at the rink’s bar.

The rink’s first 50/50 draw of this season is also tonight.

Cheers

With the Christmas season and all that it provides kicking into high gear the decision has been made that the stick-delivery-rules curling games on Wednesday evenings will resume in January.

Thank you to all who came out for our first ones. Chat with your friends, significant other and former curlers over the Christmas season; maybe you will be able to recruit some more players for the new year.

Cheers

Our Christmas tree is up at the club and ready for our annual Turkey Shoot. A big thanks goes out to Blair Brymer, who with Kay Chisholm’s request, has donated a very nice tree to the club. Also thanks to Phil for getting the lights on and to Marg and Mary for decorating the tree. Star from Mary to come by tonight or tomorrow. Don’t forget tomorrow night is our Turkey Shoot at 7pm.
