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.

With the wish to have a nice $ amount as the 50/50 prize we are going to wait a couple more weeks and do the next draw on Friday, March 14 — the weekend of the Skins Bonspiel. The plan is to then have the following 50/50 draw two weeks later during the Closing Spiel on March 29th.

Yesterday at the club our teams had some practice time vs a club team of George Luddington, Greg Cunningham, Phil O’Regan, and Ray Bates. The first two games were very close. Can’t say much for the last game though. All in all it was a good tune-up for them for this weekend. Check out the Team Photos and some from the practice session yesterday. Thanks to all who came out to watch and to Shauna and Carol for providing a great lunch.
