Cornwall Curling Club’s 40th Anniversary celebrations to join with Red & Blue bonspiel

Posted on by March 9, 2023

Shauna McGill, president of the Cornwall Curling Club’s board of directors, and former president Chris MacDougall, go over plans for the club’s 40th anniversary celebrations March 31-April 1. McGill co-chairs the anniversary committee with fellow board member Sharon Campbell. MacDougall, a board member this year, is also on the organizing committee.

 

CORNWALL – The Cornwall Curling Club is ready to throw a party more than 40 years in the making.

The club is planning a gala celebration to mark its 40th full season of operations during its traditional closing Red and Blue bonspiel March 31-April 1.

The first stones were thrown in Cornwall in late January 1982 after the club launched its tentative inaugural season in the fall of 1981 with a Sunday night curling schedule at the Belvedere Golf and Winter Club because the new club wasn’t quite ready to host operations.

The first full season in Cornwall was 1982-1983. Plans to hold earlier anniversary celebrations were derailed by Covid disruptions.

The 40th anniversary event is open to all Cornwall members, said club president Shauna McGill. More than 400 curlers are playing at the Cornwall club this season and McGill is hoping that many of them will compete in the closing bonspiel or attend the anniversary banquet.

“It’s going to be a big celebration to mark our anniversary season,” said McGill.

The Red and Blue is a single entry event where each team will play three, 6-end games with an entry fee of $40.

The signup sheet is expected to fill quickly and curlers are encouraged to get their name on it early to avoid disappointment, said McGill.

While the bonspiel can accommodate 24 teams and 96 curlers, more than 200 club curlers are expected to participate in the celebrations. Daytime, stick, junior and senior curlers will all be divided into Red or Blue teams with games throughout the closing week or so.

Points accumulate in each category and are added to the results of the Red and Blue teams playing in the closing bonspiel to determine the overall winner. Commercial and Sunday morning drop-in curlers are also eligible to play in the bonspiel.

McGill said the banquet at 1:00 p.m. Saturday, April 1 will include local dignitaries, original board members, founders and volunteers from 40 years ago. Club curlers unable to play in the 40th anniversary bonspiel are invited to the closing banquet where tickets are available for $20.

McGill and fellow board member Sharon Campbell are co-chairing the 40th anniversary committee.

“We’re hoping for a good splash to close out this milestone season,” said McGill. Awards will be presented at the close of play later Saturday.

“We hope our curlers will participate as much as they can by playing or attending the banquet in support of the club,” said McGill.

“It’s been a great season in Cornwall with no Covid-19 closures or issues.” Things went very smoothly after shutdowns and disruptions the previous three seasons, she added.

For more information about the 40th anniversary celebrations, contact club manager Travis Jones at 902-566-4427 or by email at cornwallcurling@eastlink.ca

Great weekend for our younger curlers – U13 Funspiel and Hit, Draw, Tap!

Posted on by February 13, 2023

This slideshow requires JavaScript.

It was a busy weekend at the club for our Novice and Little Rock curlers!

On Saturday, we hosted our annual O’Connor Glass U13 Funspiel. Forty-eight curlers from Cornwall, Crapuad, and Summerside clubs participated in the event. Each team played two 4-end games and entertained spectators with some great shots! For lunch, we enjoyed pizza and garlic fingers from Sam’s and chocolate milk donated by ADL. At the end of the event, each curler went home with a prize. Lots of fun was had by all!

We would like to send a huge thank you to our volunteers, coaches, and sponsors – O’Connor Glass, Sam’s, and ADL. Without your help, we would not be able to host such successful events.

On Sunday, our Novice and Little Rock curlers participated in the Hit, Draw, Tap competition.

The Hit, Draw, Tap is a national shot-making competition in which curlers in three age groups (6-8, 9-10, 11-13) are scored on their ability to throw a draw to the button, hit and stay, and tap a rock from the top-12 to the button.

We welcomed Amy Duncan and Peter Gallant from Curl PEI who organized various Hit, Draw, Tap events in curling clubs across the province. Our winners in each category were as follows:

6-8 – Brandon Whalley (58 points)
9-10 – Charlee Smith (12 points)
11-13 – Ephraim Fraser (19 points)

Brandon is also currently ranked 7th in Canada. Great job, Brandon, and congratulations to all participants on a great afternoon of shot-making!

Afterwards, the curlers enjoyed some Timbits and hot chocolate.

We would like to send a huge thank you to Amy and Peter for organizing the event, our Sunday coaches for scoring the kids, and the parents who help serve hot chocolate every Sunday.

We couldn’t have ran this event without you!

The Club is also very appreciative of all the work Sarah Doak, our junior coordinator, put into this weekend – great job Sarah!

Teams Watts and Kamphuis, with six wins, along with Robertson with five, will be climbing the ladder to the “A” pool for Round 2, starting February 15, while teams Callin (6 losses), Groves (5 losses) and Currie (4 losses) will be descending the ladder to pool B for the final round.Team Tyler MacKenzie also had 4 losses, but beat Team Currie in their game on Feb. 1st, so will once again stay in “A”.

Strathcona Cup Wrap Up!

Posted on by January 27, 2023

 

On January the 21st  the Cornwall Curling Club had the privilege to host the Strathcona Cup – and what an honour it was for our Club.

Twenty Scottish curlers, their bus driver and courier arrived and were greeted with a Scottish flag while the Scottish curlers entered the curling club under an arch of curling brooms formed by Cornwall curlers.

The piper, Angela McDonell, piped them out on the ice down to the other end and up to the home ice hog line.  Cornwall member and past participant in the Scottish leg of the Strathcona Cup, Roddie MacLean, had the honour to toast the piper.

The curlers played four ends, stopped and stacked their brooms and were served a dram (shot) of scotch, and then continued to play the last four ends. 

Two wins and two losses for each country, with the Scottish team taking the day overall by three points.

The curlers entered the clubhouse to music provided by Courtney Hogan and Todd MacLean. 

Everyone got drinks and sat down for a delicious lunch of lasagna, Caesar salad, biscuit and chocolate cake with maple icing, which was catered by 9Haven Catering (Barb Duncan and her sister Carolyn).

Dignitary welcome speeches were made by our local MLA Mark MacLean, Cornwall Mayor Minerva McCourt, Curl PEI president Jane DiCarlo, and Cornwall Curling Club President Shauna McGill.

Jim Farquharson spoke about his own trip to Scotland for the Strathcona Cup and Roddie MacLean led us in the singing of Flower of Scotland.

After lunch the Scottish curlers thanked us and preceded to the bus with all their tokens and headed to Summerside for their next game.

We would truly like to thank everyone who helped plan this event.

Debbie Rhodenhizer spearheaded the event for the Club and George Koke was instrumental in organizing the event Island-wide.  

Thanks also go to club manager Travis Jones, Roddie MacLean, Shirley Lank, Jim Farquharson, and Ernie Stavert as well as ice technicians, Ron Matters and Danny Kneabone, and bartender Debby Sigsworth. 

A round of thanks also go to Myrna Sanderson and the ladies that helped with lunch: Carlene Peters, Helen Smith, Carol Sweetapple, Glennis Dorion, Janetta Fraser, Virginia MacDonald, and Sharon Campbell.

Thanks to Etta Reid, who made the beautiful table runners.

Also, to the piper, Angela McDonell, and musicians Courtney Hogan and Todd MacLean.

Special thanks to our Sponsors, George Koke, Town of Cornwall, and Tourism PEI.
