Good morning members. former members and supporters,
Chedabucto CC’s closing spiel is this weekend and you know what that means: In addition to curlers for the six-ender games, volunteers are needed to deal with meals and duties.  We truly welcome and appreciate assistance from all: existing members, former members and to those who simply like to support Chedabucto CC.
The Club needs someone to cook the donated 26 pound turkey to be served for this Saturday’s supper.  We have a new stove at the club if that is simpler for cooking location. We have a person to carve the turkey if the cook wishes and we do have someone already committed to making the dressing. We do need the gravy to be made.
The vegetables  need to be prepared for Saturday’s supper. The thought was for potatoes, carrots and another so as to have enough.  If individuals could commit to one of the veggies that would also be appreciated.  We will know on Wednesday the numbers who are curling for the head count.
Not to forget desserts — special events are always better with a sweet treat.  Again the amount will depend on registered curlers.
Then there is the lunch meal.  There will need to be a kitchen person to cook the burgers plus sausages.  If donations for other goodies are brought, we will not turn your generosity away.
Rolls or buns always go nicely with a hot meal thus they too will be a nice addition. As you can imagine more backs make the load lighter therefore the phone calls as necessary with start tonight and tomorrow to line up the Club’s needs for another successful bonspiel.
Let one of the executive know if you can pitch in: me, Paula Dobson, Phil O’Regan, Kay Chisholm. Holly Nahrebecky , Lois MacDonald, or Brian Farrell .
With the Club’s lounge ice-viewing monitors installed, being a spectator is now much more  enjoyable.

Our Junior Curlers finished up their season last Wednesday with a pizza party and turkey shoot. Here are some photos from that event. Thanks to all who helped out this past year with our Juniors.

Today the Day League Semi-Finals were held at the club. Team G. Jamieson beat Team Armstrong in close match. Gerry’s team goes on now to the League Final to be held on Thursday of this week at 10am vs Team J. Jamieson. Also don’t forget tomorrow night is the Tuesday Night League Final with Team Dobson playing Team Luddington.

In the final Championship game today Team Druhan from the Highlander Club in St. Andrews won the closest to the pin to win the final skin and the game over Team MacCuspic from the Port Hawkesbury club. In the Consolation game Team Dobson won 7 of 8 skins to win the Consolation Championship over Team Brymer. Overall it was a great weekend with lots of good curling. Thanks to all the volunteers who helped out plus a thanks to Rob MaClean who entertained us Friday night. Check out the pictures in the Photo Gallery to be put up soon.
