Results are in from our annual Edgar Sceles Memorial bonspiel…

With 8 teams entered it came down to the final draw to determine the winner… it was Team Long vs Team Luddington and in the end Team Long won the game by 1 pt and took the trophy with 123pts. In 2nd place with 106pts was Team G. Jamieson and 3rd was Team Luddington with 104pts. Thanks go out to the Sceles family who generously donated $$ towards the bonspiel prizes. Also donating were Alison Billard with a very nice quilted table runner, MODG via Neil DeCoff with 6 prizes, and a ladies golf shirt donated by Evelyne & Gerry Jamieson. Our ‘Closest to the Pin’ winner was Evelyne Jamiseon with a measurement of 3.75″. A big thank you also to our Kitchen crew led by Holly Pyle who provided a very nice lunch and Mary K. Connolly who took care of the bar. Next up is the MacLeod Lorway Ladies Valentines FUNspiel on Feb 10/11.

Convert Running shoes into Curling Shoes…

Just a reminder that if you have some indoor running shoes that you are comfortable with you can convert them into a curling shoe. The Curling Store in Dartmouth can do this for a  fee that is less expensive than a new curling shoe and a couple of days work. I’ll attach the price list. Note that the surface of the shoe needs to be flat and smooth. Best bet would be to take a photo of the shoe and send that pic to them or just bring them in for them to let you know.

Update on Edgar Sceles..

As of today Jan. 10th we now have 33 curlers signed up for the Edgar Sceles Memorial. Unless we get 7 more curlers who want to play we will go with 8 teams and any extras will be put on a spare list. A note from the Sceles family late last week was that they are unable to provide memorial pins for this years spiel. The manufacturer is unable to get Stirling silver anymore plus the engraver has retired. Therefore they have graciously donated money in place of pins for prizes at the spiel. A big thank you to the Sceles family for this.
