A good time was had by all at yesterday’s Annual Juniors/Adults Funspiel.  Even thought there were the “occasional” shots missed by both juniors and adults, we had a grand time on Saturday.

With two juniors and two adults per team the pressure was on the adults to do as well as the youngsters. There were draws to the button, takeouts and perfect guards — all being delivered by the youngsters.  The adults — now and then — also made some decent shots. 🙂

Yesterday was made possible through the volunteerism of Club members and parents, the enthusiastic participation of juniors, plus generous sponsorship and support from businesses.

Sponsorship was received from Sceles Realty, Boylston/Antigonish with support for the Juniors’ draw prizes from Big G’s Pizza and Restaurant, Guysborough; Martin Marietta Materials, Mulgrave; and M&M Meat Shops, Antigonish.

On behalf of the Chedabucto Curling Club Community Activity Society I express my sincere and appreciative thanks for the participation, sponsorship and support.

Best regards,
Ray

This week’s featured sponsors are Campbell & MacKeen, Bergengren Credit Union, and Avery’s Save Easy.

Our Annual Junior / Adult Funspiel will be held at the Chedabucto CC rink, Boylston, on Saturday, March 8, with a four-ender in the morning and another four-ender in the early afternoon.  Teams will consist of two juniors and two adults with the intent to be for the juniors to be the skips and seconds.

The tentative draw times will be 10:30 AM and approximately 12:30 PM. While enabling the youngsters to have recreational fun, the curling games will also be introductions for most juniors to playing by the rules of matches.

A pizza lunch will be served at approximately 11:45 AM at no cost to the participants. There will also be no registration fees for the curlers — getting them onto the ice and introduced to the sport is Chedabucto CC’s goal.

This funspiel is being generously sponsored by Sceles Realty, Antigonish/Boylston with draw prizes for the Juniors provided by Big G’s Pizza and Restaurant, Guysborough; M&M Meat Shops, Antigonish; Martin Marietta Materials, Mulgrave and Sceles Realty, Antigonish/Boylston.

Team Dobson finished with a 1-2 record and Team Sangster a 2-2 record. Former club member and teammate of Wayne Sangster, Nick Deagle, is in the final this afternoon at 5pm vs defending champion Mike Robinson of the Dartmouth CC. Good luck to Nick and his team from Bridgewater CC.
