It was the DEMOLITION DERBY – and curlers came out in appropriate attire. There were hard hats, tool belts, and even a little dynamite on the ice. Facing off for the last time in our old club, Blue conquered the Red to win back the title! The Blue teams led going into Saturday’s contest by a margin of only 4 points, and after the second round, Red was ahead by 8, but Blue rallied in the end, and took control of the final round, and the WIN.
Off the ice, Friday night there was music by DJs Matt Hammond & Kyle Gallagher www.charlottetownrefinery.ca .mailto:recording@charlottetownrefinery.ca
A big Thank You goes out to Confederation Cove www.confederationcove.com, and two local mussel farmers (Karen and Paul MacInnis from Hampshire) who donated the mussels for the evening. The mussels were delicious, so be sure to check out their products for your next get-together.
Saturday activities included some off-ice games, burgers on the barbie with salads, and prizes all afternoon for the reverse draw for a 1-night membership for next year. Following the last round of curling, a fantastic meal consisting of roast pork loin, home made baked beans, mashed potatoes, salds, rolls, and dessert was enjoyed by everyone.
The draw for the TV was made during supper, with Clubmate Cindy Nicholson taking home the TV, second prize (Balance Plus broom) went to Debby Sigsworth. The reverse draw also came to a close, with Sherri Boutilier as the winner of a one-night membership for next year.
Many thanks once again to our wonderful sponsors – CountryView Golf Club www.countryviewgolf.com who have partnered with the curling club for over 10 years in the closing spiel, as well as the annual golf tournament which will be held at their beautiful course on June 18th. The Curries were well represented this year, with a couple of them taking home the hardware! Thanks to everyone who helped out in any way to make the weekend a success. It was a great ending to a very good year at the club, and we look forward to coming back in the fall to a newly renovated space, which can only make our curling experience better.
