Other Club accomplishments/awards

The Cornwall Curling Club were recipients of Island Community Fund funding for new furniture, equipment, rock refurbishing.

A successful “Cornwall Rocks” bonspiel was held, which raised $2575 for rock refurbishment.
The Club also received a provincial grant by which they were able to introduce dozens of PEI newcomers to the sport in Sunday evening sessions with the PEI Newcomers Assoc.

Sadly, a few of our former members passed away, including Nucker Richards, Jack Fairhurst, Jim Fleming. and Al Hammond.

Thanks to everyone who made our 2014-2015 season such a success!
